Gary B.I was in a mall this past weeke-end and a guy was selling some legitimate baseball cards, along with a bunch of these AAA paper cutouts, including a Cobb, Ruth, etc. He spoke about them with some reverence saying they were form this guy in Hawaii, at which point I said that I knew who he was talking about, that this person was not thought of well in the serious baseball card collecting world, and they were just worthless magazine/newspaper cutouts that he cut himself, graded himself and then tries to pass of as something valuable, that they're essentially worthless except as people are fooled to believe they are valuable. He wanted $50 each for them. I would have paid maybe $1-$2 each just because they looked cool. I thought this person who does this wouldn't visit Net54. What is he doing here? Does he know he's ripping people off and clogging up ebay with all that crap?
BTW, that beautiful Cobb card sold for over $2,000! Not bad...
