An awful "Obak" card
Take a look at this weird card:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-TRISTAR...-/261299592445. They cut a card in half and slabbed it with an Obak label. Does anybody else think this is awful?

Worst. Trimming. Ever.
Keeping the card intact and stamping it somehow (think Topps Heritage Buyback cards) would sure look quite a bit better, IMO. I agree...this is awful. Not a reflection on the seller, of course.

I guess I would rather that they chop up a 60's Topps card than a vintage bat or jersey. I don't understand who is buying the "pieces of the game" stuff.

This has sort of thing has been happening for a while now. It's their version of a "cut signature"...and I have to agree that it looks tacky and unattractive.

Ok, now it fits
At least it now fits the plastic holder. Who needs to see Mr. Nuxhall's face again, anyways?

Obak
I only collect pre-war so I hadn't seen these newer issues. Apparently there are other hack jobs available for collectors. I can't imagine a marketing genius convincing the executives that this type of insert would stimulate sales.

There are a lot of cards like this floating around. I would never buy one, most of them look really bad, but its another way of getting a cut autograph i guess. I prefer just a cut auto on a plain piece of paper over these stupid looking things.
I actually do have a few of these, but they were given to me free by a dealer friend, thats the only way i would ever obtain any.

The old lefthander got sliced in pieces as he was rounding third, heading home.
