OT - Vintage paper cut outs - This guy is way, way smarter than me

In his defense, I don't find complete and intact Sport Stamps that much different in theory than many "W" cards. Granted, this one is hacked up, but still.

Over the past few years I have purchased a few items from this dealer. I collect items from local baseball teams and from fairly obscure local players. These items are very difficult to locate.

Thanks to this dealer with the cut outs I have been able to purchase photos of a local Wauzeka, WI team from 1912, 1913, and 1914. This is a small town of 300-400 people so there aren't many items around.

I also collect items of Otey Clark, a Boscobel,WI native who played with the Red Sox for a short time and he played with about a dozen minor league teams in the 1940's. The dealer that we are discussing had newspaper cut outs of Otey from the LaCrosse, WI team from 1940 and from when Otey played with the Red Sox in 1946.

No, they aren't cards, and even though the description may list them as cards, the scans are good and it is easy to tell that they are newspaper cut outs.

I too buy cuts when they match my interests and are cheap.

IMO the sports stamps and the newspaper cards from various years are decent strip style cards and merit serious attention.

IMO some were made to be cut out such as the Sports Stamps, 1949 Phili pictures etc.... Then there are other pictures in magazines that weren't meant to be collected individually or cut out. To me there is a difference, but to each their own.

ps...I should add that I have bought a cut out before, of a Joe Jackson team. Cut outs can be collected like anything else but I consider them cut outs and not cards. The 1936 Stamps are closer to cards to me than these other magazine and paper cut outs.

He currently has pages from Spalding's America's National Game, which I hope was already damaged. I understand cutting magazines, newspapers etc, but draw the line at books, unless already severely damaged or incomplete. Just old fashioned I quess.
