Beckett Media makes this dramatic presentation of that "2010 Topps Tribute" cut autograph card giving it the "white glove" treatment on YouTube and, of course, once again there is a controversy over another Babe Ruth cut on a Topps card in 2010. Also remember, it was Beckett who was the broker for the "2005 Upper Deck' Quad Cut in which the Ruth and Johnson were deemed forgeries. As we all know by the now, Beckett Media ended the auction for the "2010 Topps Tribute" card yesterday (12/21/2010). If Topps wanted to produce such a high-end and dramatic card why didn't they spend a few extra bucks and purchase a rock-solid Ruth and Gehrig cut? You would think Topps would have learned their lesson after the "Tewksbury" Topps Cut autographs of Ruth and Gehrig. Eventually the owner of that Ruth/Gehrig cut auto card received a replacement card with a new Babe Ruth cut. Not to mention all of those Upper Deck cut autos in which part of many signatures are cut off like the auction below:

Does anyone look at this stuff before it is boxed? Where the heck is the "Quality Control?" So far there are 10 "Best Offers" on the above card. Why would any collector want that card? Look at that "Mantle." Enough said.
