Default Paper Policeman, Help!

Posted By: ty_cobb

My take is
A) Newspaper cutouts have no place in the
pre-1930s baseball card category of eBay.
They should be advertised in another category.
B) Reach or Spalding baseball guide cutouts
are just that, trimmed items. It is my opinion
that to grade a trimmed cutout item as Near mint
or better is wishful thinking.
C) It is a shame to destroy said publications to
make paper cutouts. It is a waste to destroy 90
year old publications to make scraps simply for
profit motives. I have to question why the hobby
really needs slabbed cutout paper scraps which I
do see as distinctly different from an actual card.
