funny bathroom relative helping story, that's hilarious!
i never get the big value/demand of the cut autos either. buy a $80 ted williams postcard, have upper deck or topps cut it up and somehow it's worth $800 now...weird logic.
i'm a total autograph newbie so i'll be sticking to certify stuff for now. the feeling of not knowing how to differentiate between the good mantle ball from the bad in another thread is akin to many other new collectors here who want to jump right into a '33 goudey ruth
. thanks guys!
