1926 Spalding Champions Ruth on ebay?

I might not have an issue grading a cut out as a cut out if that is what someone really wants to pay for (and it's labeled as a cut out). Putting the graded cut out into any kind or registry sounds kind of crazy. I guess there could be a cut out registry.

If they wish to slab this junk fine but they should not be adding it to the registry. Id love to hear the justification though when they have been unwilling to slab uncatalogued or sometimes even rare catalogued cards, yet for someone they will put scraps of magazines etc in slabs. Heck I cant even get them to grade my 1982 John Elway minor league card. They've N9 it 3 times know, yet its in the pop report.

So is this a legitimate PSA slab?? I don't think they should slab cutouts unless they were meant to be cut out...like the stamps from the newspaper comic section. But out of a magazine, or book? No way!

So they're doing this huh?

Looks like the price of beater publication lots just went up.

On another site there was a thread about PSA grading the Ryan cut out and other similar cut outs. Setting a bad precedent IMO

[GasHouseGang]

If that "thing" is actually graded by PSA, it should say Hand-Cut on the label and only be labeled as authentic. Why is it some items that are hand-cut they will give a grade to and others they won't? It makes no sense.

[glynparson]

its the implementation that is screwed up. Hand cut cards are only to be graded if the defined border is completely present. For cards with out a border they must meet the industry standard size for the issue. The problem is they often stray and end up grading some cards with out all of the border present or a similar issue which helps lead to a lot of confusion. Also the card needed to be only issued or predominantly issued in hand cut format.
