This will become a custom cut.


Came from this;

I am not trying to sound obnoxious because it is your piece but why would you cut the photo ?
Granted it has a stain but photos are much more displayable and valuable and easier to get a LOA on than a "cut".
It's your piece but I would keep it as it is.

Understandable question. It is a magazine page, not an actual photo. I don't chop up nice pieces. I chop what I can afford to buy; Uglier stuff.
But, I like cards and collection consistency.

As a Pirate fan, I started with them, and am progressing to other players I like. Robinson, for obvious reasons. W.Johnson; from where I live and buried 2 miles from where I am typing this.




And no, I didn't cut a Wagner check, it was already a cut when I bought it.

It is your collection Jeffery, so you should enjoy it as you wish, but I have to agree with Kevin. IMO, you are taking are taking a more valuable item and making it a less valuable item. I always find it unfortunate when people destroy things like this. Perhaps if it was just a piece of a piece of scrap paper, I could understand. I just think you could make a really nice display out of that photo by matting out the stain like this...

Hmm I'm kind of the opposite. I think it'd be more presentable thus more valuable after Jeff is done with the cutup. You're not cutting up a PC or letter, the sig is placed kinda weird too.

I put this one on interest free layaway almost a year ago and paid it off a few days ago. Made it an affordable way for me to add it.

Just got it in today.

Mark,
That actually does look really nice matted like that. But, thats not for me.

The page is off to PSA/DNA for a full letter at this time, I guess I wouldn't be opposed to considering a strong offer for the page if someone wanted to save it.
