Does anyone like badly miscut cards?

[avalanche2006]

I recently bought a lot of vintage baseball and football that had several crazy miscuts. I was wondering if they are considered low grade or sought out by certain people.

There are certainly collectors of just about anything you can think of. I'd suspect that aside from a small number of collectors who like those types of print/cutting errors in general (there are a few regular contributors on this site, I believe), most probably appeal more to specific player collectors. I, for one, will pick up oddities for Steve Garvey and will even pay a small premium for them if they are interesting enough. I don't go overboard though, so I prefer them as close to "normal" card market as possible or I often pass on them.

How's this for an example. I bought this one not that long ago from an ebay seller who seems to have an unlimited supply of odd cuts, oversized "proofs" and similar. I think I paid $1-2 for it. Much more than the regular single, which you might be able to find for a dime or quarter, but still cheap enough to appreciate the oddity.

There these is this king of garbage that I am still drawn to like a bad accident on the roadside. They are ugly, poorly executed, but yet I still buy them. Not quite sure why to be honest. A plain 3x5 card would have been so much nicer looking, although much more boring too.

Can't seem to get the 2nd scan to attach...

Curt pretty much nailed it.

If you have any Wade Boggs, hit me up, the more off center the better.

Agree with Curt also about specific player miscuts being of interest.
For me that is Ashburn. Here are 2 interesting ones because they include other hall of farmers and they would actually appear in a column on a 1956 sheet. The Ashburn/Mantle were together at one time.
Also, please feel free to pm me any Ashburn miscuts you might want to part with.
