Fact is, they are just pages torn out of a book, and while attractive are virtually worthless. Remember, there are always beginners out there who can be easily fooled.

That, and the fact they are destroying these guides, rankles me.

I quit trying to save the world from making bad decisions. If someone wants to buy a cutout that is labeled as a cutout more power to them. I do understand the debate, which is that it sort of "legitimatizes" them but if labeled correctly then people need to be smart enough to know it's only a page from a book. BTW, I have some Supplements I like quite a bit. Here is a larger Supplement that I bought the smaller cut out to go with...It is approximatly 11 x 15, quite large...
