Sort of O/T: To Be or Not to Be

UNCUT

Error looks more interesting this way. I'd frame one.

Great looking sheet. In my (collector) opinion it would be blasphemy to cut it up.

I'd suggest sending it to me and that way you don't have to decide :-)
Seriously, don't cut it up, it's such a nice piece and would display beautifully.

Save one, cut one.
Keep a few cards, sell a few cards.

I voted to keep 'em in sheets, but looking at the auction listings, your two "sheets" appear to have been cut down already.

Looks like the original had groupings that were 2 rows x 9 columns (call them A and B). Each grouping was paired with another grouping horizontally (2 rows x 19 columns) in which the left and right groups alternated:
AB
BA
AB
BA

I would still keep them together, but I wouldn't blame you for cutting off the far left column or one of the rows on one of your sheets.

Iggy, if it meant not getting your daughter the trampoline -- I'd cut the sheet.

I vote for:
"Yes! You own the sheet, do whatever you want with it."

Only because it is yours and you have the right to do with it as you please.

The only issue I do have is the motive of selling in the future. It has to be clear that they are hand cut from a sheet. Even if you disclose this, there is no guarantee the person buying from you won't flip it without disclosing this information. Eventually someone may try and get a TPG involved and they will say it is trimmed.

I am a strong believer of if it is yours you can do with it as you please within moral/legal limits, in this case not doing it with fraudulent intent.

EDIT to add: I wouldn't do it. I would frame them.

It would look gorgeous framed. Please don't cut them up, or sell them to a board member. They look amazing. But, it is yours, you can do whatever you want.
