Collectability of vintage book/magazine/newspaper clippings?

[Den*nis O*Brien]

... on the "Old Board" we discussed a guy that actively sought out Spalding Guides and then cut out the images. So...that is the line we are discussing here. But this seller, in my opinion, crossed another line. He ran his own grading company, with a name that I do not remember, and then graded his own cut out pages without calling them pages. They all turned out to be very high grade!! The seller placed them in those 2 piece, 4 screw down, hard plastic holders. He actually used pop rivets to "Seal" the graded items. His items were somewhat prolific for a while on eBay. He was spoken about here on several occasions. Leon may remember these conversations. He destroyed a lot of guides to feed his grading company. But as has been stated in this thread...maybe he satisfied a lot of collecting needs by making the pages available.
