IMO some were made to be cut out such as the Sports Stamps, 1949 Phili pictures etc.... Then there are other pictures in magazines that weren't meant to be collected individually or cut out. To me there is a difference, but to each their own.

ps...I should add that I have bought a cut out before, of a Joe Jackson team. Cut outs can be collected like anything else but I consider them cut outs and not cards. The 1936 Stamps are closer to cards to me than these other magazine and paper cut outs.

He currently has pages from Spalding's America's National Game, which I hope was already damaged. I understand cutting magazines, newspapers etc, but draw the line at books, unless already severely damaged or incomplete. Just old fashioned I quess.
