Should Beckett be grading these paper cut outs?

...it's not book cut-outs
...it's not photographs

...winning arguments with Henry II?

now, if they are in the business of slabbing pieces of the Constitutions of
Clarendon, I will certainly take a stab at purchasing one of those at AAA prices.

Only board members named Barry would have understood.

Spalding Guide to Becket: "Me - with my delicate skin. I bet you'd never have done the same for me. But - I suppose I have to do this penance and make my peace with you. Hmm. What a strange end to our story."

these companies will slab anything, indicting a ham sandwich if you will. you will see michael jordan's fingernail clippings and steve garvey's belly button lint next.

My number one philosophy is "As long as it's accurately labelled." Unlike some 'grading purists' (yes, a slightly snide term) I don't have a problem with companies holdering oddities-- including reprints, deceased celebrity drivers licenses and fans' 2010 Wrigley Stadium polaroids --, AS LONG AS the item is accurately described.

However, I don't like book pages being holdered (It's the they 'tear out of book' part I don't like, not that it's not a card) and, far more important than my ethical opinions on books pages, I think the label has to say it's a book page if its a book page.

Just my opinion.

Regarding the AAA cross-overs,,,,, hahahahaha That was too funny.


I still remember people used to get really pissed off at the clown that was encapsulating magazine pictures in those AAA holders.... I suppose Beckett has "legitimized" it and it's not so offensive now. I see no difference in what the clown with the AAA holders did. Oh, I guess I need to start referring to those guys at Becketts the same way... Oh yeah, who ever said that those clowns should add "Page" to the end of the "Spalding Guide" is absolutely right. They should even include the page number(s).

Personally, I think it's crap. I'd rather just have the entire Spalding Guide... oh yeah, that's right people don't know they're available... oops, there goes the price of Spalding Guides now....

Agreed, "AAA cross-overs" is the laugh of the day.
