I agree, nothing wrong with using a cut for a cut. It's typically the act of destroying something whole to create the cut in the first place that will draw jeers and criticism. By mounting your cut (that was already a cut) in a card, you're basically making a choice on how to present it for viewing/display (more akin to framing a photograph), and you've done quite a nice job of it from the look of your mock-up. Is this something that you designed yourself and are sending to someone for execution, or was the design done by the "card builder" as well? Just curious. (Also, is there a better term than "card builder" that I should use?)

I'm not taking a stand one way or the other, but...
That's not a "cut." It's a signed magazine or book photo. (And I'm sure Jim listed it accordingly.) |

I think it looks great and deciding how to display acquisitions is a hobby within a hobby.
I would get rid of that 1/1 up in the corner, though. That card company hucksterism isn't necessary with a personal, custom cut, but that's just my opinion. I like everything else about it. Sweet Cobb!

By cut, I meant cut out picture. The Cobb pic had already been cut out of something long before he got it. As opposed to him cutting the signature off a whole postcard or full bank check.
I'll be careful in my future use of the term cut. Last edited by drc; 03-10-2013 at 02:42 PM. |

I have no problem with this... whatever makes you happy as a collector... it's all good.
What would bug me personally, is that they had to just barely cut off the left side of the paraph. They never seem able to quite get the entire autograph in for some reason. Just my personal pet-peeve. Looks really nice otherwise! Last edited by perezfan; 03-10-2013 at 02:45 PM. |
