Judge Dred (Fred)I'm not defending Topps here but...
There are a lot of "cut" signatures on the market for sale. I would have to believe that Topps isn't going to buy an important document just to cut it up so that they can get a Geo Washington signature. My guess is that they bought cuts and made the card.
Actually, I find it interesting and I wouldn't mind having something like that if I knew for sure that Topps didn't intentionally destroy a document to get the sigs.
Could you imagine, Topps purchasing one of the copies of the Declaration of Independance and then cutting it up to put chase cards in their boxes of cards? I'll trade a crappy D304 Cobb for the Buttons Gwinnett signature!
