Weren't 1912 Boston Garters originally issued in an accordian style panel also?

They were given to store owners, or others on request, to put on display in windows in order to help sell the Garters or to collect as a set of cards. I do agree with the sentiment that it's ok to slab almost anything authentic as long as it's authentic. Makes no difference to me...

I assumed that that they were all issued like this phenomenal uncut sheet that I found in the Archives if this board. It looks to me that yours even has a bit of extra paper in the upper right that might be a result of being separated from an accordian sheet.

That is my assumption too. They were issued in panels to store owners or you could send off for them through the mail as a layperson. I was only extrapolating them being "cards" after having been torn or cut apart, which I didn't communicate. I have always believed they were issued in panels of four too......That is a phenomenal BG panel.

I don't think you can find those Boston Garters any way except separated. As an aside, I've seen that panel in person. One of the best pieces of baseball memorabilia around.

SGC has now started encapsulating tickets and photos also, everything as "Authentic" (no "type" designation on the photos that I have seen thus far). There are a bunch listed currently on e-bay, all seem to be from the same seller, frankjprisco.

Photos, tickets, cuts from strips and other similar issues, all "A" Ok with me. My only quibble is that I don't see a clearly stated policy of what it slabs. I'd like to see an 'official' announcement so I can know whether to waste the postage sending SGC photos and the like for slabbing.

Here's a card I wanted slabbed a skinned N284 that both SGC & PSA wouldn't slab.
If it is authentic, which this is, why not then? Just indicate it on the flip.
The old GAI was happy to take my $$$ to encapsulate it.
