Guys,

Here's the deal, before slabs, if anybody had a sheet of cards. It's possible that they would have frammed it or tacked it to the wall.

Look of the advantages of displaying the cards in this manner. Perhaps the pinhole(s) in the top border would damage that particular card, but the rest of the cards would remain undamaged. So a card in the middle of the sheet would be well-preserved.

My thinking is that keeping the card on the sheet was a wonderful way of preserving the card. The other factor is scarcity.

Just like '52 Topps wax packs are scarce, so are uncut sheets of T206. However, there might be limited demand for uncut sheets. Whereas there's a huge demand for one of the big four.
