Topps Dice Cards

[JollyElm]

As a favor, this post will attempt to head off the usual arguments before they can take hold (Yes, if you read any thread on Net54, you'll know that is an impossible goal to accomplish.):


• Since these Dice cards are extremely rare (Yes, here's where someone will correct me and say, "Dear boy, you mean 'scarce.'" ), if the winner decides to use an X-Acto knife on them (Yes, duh, they'll obviously use a more effective manner of cutting.),
then the entire world (Yes, of course I'm using that as a general term, and it shouldn't be taken literally.) will know they've been recently cut and are not 'as issued.'
(Yes, here's where someone will insist that once any card is removed from its packaging, it is no longer "as issued." You've really given us something to think about. Yawn.)

• How will PSA/SGC/ETC. grade them, knowing this to be the case? (Yes, here's where people will bemoan how TPGs already do everything wrong. We get it.)
The eyes of the world (see above) will be on them.

Side note: Eyes of the World is a cool Dead tune. (Yes, you can't stand The Grateful Dead, and prefer some band no one's ever heard of. Wow, you're so frickin' cool.)

• If they are each rightfully (Yes, someone will argue that it's "wrongfully." Good one.) slabbed as some form of "Authentic," are they still as valuable (Yes, here's where someone will tritely say, "They are worth whatever a person is willing to pay for them.") and, I guess,
desirable as the ones which were originally released, since there are so few of them around?
