Here are pictures of the Notebook. I believe this copy will be in Goodwin's next auction.

I think that distinction between strip card and not strip card is difficult to make, Rhett. I mean, W560, W565 and W590 sheets don't have cutting instructions on them. Perhaps the allure of the notebook to kids was the ability to cut them up after school was out and have a card collection?

So that's where they come from! Kinda takes a bit of the thrill out of things. Glad I only paid a minor sum for this "W-UNC" Chase.

The prices are all over the map on these...I agree. I got mine cheap. If enough of these were cut up and or saved by kids..then I can see it being consdiered a "collectible card" even though it may not have been intended to be.

how could you ever put a grade on these cards besides auth. just because one kid cut it out better then other and later in its life a collector bought a whole note book and then cut it up and sent it to psa or sgc and had it graded. this makes no sense to me.

Adam, I pretty much agree with you. That being said, the fact that W565, W560, W504, etc. cards were the product themselves--so you paid money (presumably) to get a sheet of "cards" that you could cut out if you felt like it or not. The product with these was the notebook, and it was to be used as a notebook--probably semantics but I see a distinction there.

As I said earlier, these have been part of the hobby for a long time and have been traded as W-Unc so it is probably too late to try and say they aren't as they are known in the hobby lexicon as such.

For me personally, much like David above, when I found out where they came from I personally don't care for them anymore as single cards--I would love to own the notebook though!

Does anyone know how much the Wagner sells for?

What about a Wagner with math equations written on it because I bet in 3 months we'll see this same Wagner graded 'SGC Aut' on ebay

I met the individual that won the Carrigan for $411 or whatever at a show reecently... he did indeed put in on EBAY for auction and it sold to someone with over 16000 feedback score, YET, as of this past weekend, he still possesses that very card. Sticker on it is over $800. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm. Out of only 4 bidders, I was one of the 'losing' bidders, and I don't think anyone was gonna win unless it hit a certain unlisted 'reserve', lets say. Funny, small world.

FYI, One of these notebooks just sold for $575 in the Goodwin auction that closed a few days ago.

$800 would be more than enough to pry mine away.

I wonder how much that notebook (from where these things came from) would sell for. You could piece it out and make a ton of $$$ if you cut out the individual images and found the right buyers. I don't consider these cards. Of course, that's just my opinion.

The notebook just sold for a little over $500. Yes you could cut it up and sell them individually for much more. Some people think that it is more important and valuable intact.

The market has a word for that person: Idiot.

Your authentic looks about the same as the one that got a grade.... its very oddly subjective, luck of the draw, on these strip cards. I have one that got a PSA 2 grade, very pleased... expected Authentic by default.

From an ethical standpoint, I doubt there is much more circumstantial evidence of someone having another fellow 'collector' bid on their card very high so they do NOT LOSE MONEY... that's why the card has such a ridiculous price on it and is not listed in his entire buy it now inventory, but does have it at card shows. Things got a little nervous when I started asking about it. I know of another big time Ebay seller that befriended me. I thought I had won a card from him in auction, which I didn't, so I told him at least he got more money due to my desperate attempt to win it. He admitted he had someone else bid high, and that he was just going to have to hide it away in his safe. He's not a friend anymore, I don't value that.

Ethics !
