These things are all over ebay, as I was duped into buying a few when I first started collecting. I have always wondered, however, why these are so unappreciated by collectors? We've had numerous discussions on this board as to what constitutes a "card." Since these pictures (I believe there are 10 of them), make up a jigsaw puzzle, with a pic of Babe Ruth on the back, doesn't that indicate that they were meant to be cut out as individual pieces? Seems that would give them a bit more credibility in terms of being an actual stand-alone item, as opposed to something which clearly was cut out from a publication not intended to be mutilated. Be interested in other's opinions on cut-outs which were intended to be cut-out.
