If so,(and I'm sure I'm not alone), holderable or not, some of us might still consider something like this legit... It's something that's right in the ballpark for us bottom feeder types.

Having said that, I don't know enough about the issue to say if it was period or not. So I'll be steering clear..
It is a cut from a poster. The description says this-

"This is an amazing VINTAGE 1928 BABE RUTH FRO-JOY ice cream authentic New York Yankees Baseball Card!"

How can you possibly defend that description, even when the next sentence does say it was cut from a poster? And the next sentence says it can but cut to perfection and graded, which is another falsehood. But please keep going...

Now, had he said, "this was cut from a poster and would make a nice collectible"....I would have no issue...but all of the other stuff is false, so, yes, I do have an issue with it. If you don't have an issue and don't care if someone is mislead, that is your call...

I would like to add a bit more.....if a grading company were to put "cut from poster" on the flip, then I wouldn't have an issue with one holdered as AUT. Transparency is key.
