One more way to ruin the hobby - fractional ownership

Its only a matter of time before a card company does this.

This would also be a great idea. How about an image of the Wagner card with the cut piece overlaying it’s spot on the image. It’d be ripfest madness. I’d imagine they could get about #/50 pieces

If anyone is interested in this type of idea I have some slivers I saved from a 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams rookie.

I have though about making a custom card with a clear window in it with some of the slivers showing. Then on the back show a picture of the donor card before and after the trimming.

It is the rookie Williams I bought in the BST section that had almost all the borders trimmed off. I squared up the card and put new full borders on it off a donor 39 Play Ball.
