Bought some years ago, got them graded , sold most of them, still don't understand the grades or how they come up with them, here is one I kept

Leon- I love the W590's and that sheet is awesome especially with the Jackson rookie on the corner

2 cards from my uncut W573 10 card vertical strip

W551 Ruth/Cobb panel

Whoa Dan, that panel is just about the coolest thing ever.

Yeah, its one of my favorites. I had to send it back in to get it re-holdered because the gasket was miscut and was damaging the card. Hoping not to lose the grade.

It really depends. If the strip is really nice or rare it will sell at a premium but if you can cut it down and yield a high grade card for slabbing that might be the most efficient way to make money. I cut up a W565 sheet--they aren't rare--to get at a card and was very happy with the result:



I sold off the balance of the sheet and made money on the deal.

It can be a little nutty when the registry comes into play. I had one fellow pay me a premium to cut up a really rare strip I was selling rather than take delivery on the uncut strip because he wanted two cards from the strip for his registry set. I cut the strip, got paid full price for the entire strip and kept 8 of the ten cards, including the fighter I actually collect.
