collectibility of cut-up 4-on-1's?

[kilo]

recently came across a really nice W. Dickey that was cleanly cut from a 31-32 4-on-1 exhibit. curious as to the opinions on collecting the individual cuts from these 4-on-1 cards. like? dislike? to pursue or not? and does any of the grading services authenticate the individual cuts?

Collect what you like. I don't know much about the 4-1's, but I know some people collect T202 end panels. I don't have any, but I think they're cool.

I love the cut up cards... with the exception of the reverse on the 35 goudeys, I think the T202 end panels have appeal as good as the t205's the 4in 1 exhibits also bring an excellent display with them!!! and lets not forget about the 1941 doubleplays...

despite the true collector stating that there is not much value to these "butchered" cards, the big name hofers seem to grab quite a bit of attention when listed on ebay... Just yesterday a separated 3 card panel of Evers and Chane went for $51! pretty sure that you could get that one intact for 90-120...

I agree with the previous post collect what you enjoy and like!

Beckett will authenticate as A only I believe. I don't think psa or sgc will grade. Very affordable to collect but not much resell value if you change your focus in the future.

You can collect whatever you want. Their market value and hobby 'acceptability' are secondary issues.

I don't see anything wrong with collecting them. I assume you won't be cutting down whole cards to fill your need. Duly note that T202 panels and Allen & Ginters cut from albums are bought and sold in the hobby.

As long as you know what you are buying then it's all good. As everyone says, collect what you want to. Collecting these cut outs can be done on a budget too.
