To the OP- please be careful where you put your threads. This one was in a buy sell trade area before it was moved. thanks

One of the negatives about this site. Too many sections related to similar topics with strict posting rules. Pretty confusing layout. A little streamlining would go a long way.

A negative to a few of the 8000 members. A person can always PM me or another moderator if they don't know what they are doing or can't read very well. I would like anyone to explain how it is difficult to read those 8 icons (sections) across the top of every page? Add to that this is the most popular forum software in existence and we get back to the "can't please everyone no matter what so we do it the way it is easiest for most". This forum might be just a little too complicated for some members.

Sorry to touch a nerve. Just seems a little disorganized.

Why is the vintage sports memorabilia forum under the heading "Pre WWII forums"? Many threads in that forum are post WWII.

Why is "Water cooler" under the heading "Post war sport cards"?

I guess I'm not sharp enough to understand.

The board was already formed when we added more sections.
We went with what happens when you click on icons. For me, and many of us old guys, it's easier to click on pictures. ..thanks

btw, if you click the icons you find the sections easier than what you are doing by clicking on the linked forums...

There is some overlap. For example, this post could go into the memorabilia or Post-War cards section.

I should apologize for the short post as I wasn't trying to sound like a jerk. I was just hoping it ended up in the right section as I'm curious what the answers from other members are. I have the issue with Mantle in it and they are terrific cards.

Here are my though: I have no idea regarding price. As for grading, I don't think PSA would grade the handcut cards at this point, but it seems like SGC is more likely to recognize items like this. That said, I hope no one graded them. The second someone starts, people will start chopping these magazines up. And, I like them as is and think that would be a shame. As for grading the whole magazine, I would think that magazine collectors may like that but not necessarily card collectors. I doubt I'd pay a premium for a graded copy.
