Cut Auto Cards Have Officially Gone Too Far

Couldn't they just give redemption card. I would rather have the whole picture.

Very sad

Yea I get it when they use a signed index card or canceled check. But ruining an autographed picture to create a modern card is ridiculous. Do collectors really spend more on a card like that than the picture would have sold for? I wouldnt.

I believe 90% of what the companies cut up (i.e vintage jerseys, bats etc) are bogus or not what they say they are. I think the originals they've bought at auction are stored nicely in the execs private vault. What do they care if they resurface 50 years from now? They got their money now. Easy to cut up vintage jerseys and bats from the goodwill.

I remember UD I think showing a Ruth jersey being cut up for swatch cards. Only watched part cubs made me sick.

Joe I agree with everything you say except I think you are about ten percent short on your estimate!

I remember many times in the 90's when sales reps from the card companies would call on me at our wholesale warehouse and give me numbered autographed cards. I would say aren't these limited and in packs to which they would just laugh! Numbered and limited my butt!!!

Look at these!!! what were they thinking??? Lets dice up the document worth thousands of dollars to sell cards for $10/each. Some of the slices don't even have any writing on them at all.
