where are these?

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!
