Shocking
Why are you surprised?
1. TPGs will eventually grade anything someone will stroke them a check for. Imagine what PSA is thinking if they can get player registry collectors to collect this crap. 2. Most auction houses will list anything they think someone will bid on.

Psa
I guess I'm not surprised...but it's very sneaky. I am not familiar with even one other example of a cut-out from a magazine or newspaper that is graded by PSA.
Perhaps I'm more disappointed than I am surprised. Not many things (baseball card related) surprise me any more.

Yup, by making this leap, they've basically given themselves an unlimited number of new items to have slabbed. If it works, they will make a fortune, if it doesn't we still know there will be those who will send in hundreds of cut-outs in the hopes it will become popular with collectors. If it doesn't become popular, no skin off PSA's backs. Those sitting on stacks of almost worthless "Sporting News" issues are probably salivating at the possibilities right now. Almost can't blame the auction house if people are willing to pay for this. There's no way they don't know exactly what it is. PSA has decided there's a market for these, and people who allow PSA to make these decisions for them, will go right along with it.

When I was a kid I would cut Sports IllustratedSport/Dell/other magazine pics out and paste them to cardboard to make my own home made cards.
I had dozens probably, now long thrown out. I wonder if they would grade home made cards like that?
