I hope the original was at least in a compromised condition to start with. Maybe half of Lou's head was missing or something.

These card companies grind up baseball bats, gloves and jerseys. I doubt there was anything wrong with that Gehrig photo. They have no sense of history, it's all about feeding the gambling addicts who buy these packs.

Makes you wonder who the owner was prior to the card company. Did they know it was going to be cut up when they let it go

Yes. Leafs executive Collection cuts are cards they make for people to send in to get a cut card made. People send in already authenticated autographs, and Leaf cuts them up and puts them in the card, then encapsulates the card.

This was done by a collector at their request through the Leaf service, this card was never in a pack. Getting frustrated at this is like getting upset at a painter for the hot pink house down the street.

Yes, but the house can eventually be repainted by a new owner. Or the current owner can change their mind. In this instance, . . .

How could it possibly be better to have a part of the autographed item rather than the whole thing? This is just unbelievable.

Couldn't they just give redemption card. I would rather have the whole picture.

Very sad

Yea I get it when they use a signed index card or canceled check. But ruining an autographed picture to create a modern card is ridiculous. Do collectors really spend more on a card like that than the picture would have sold for? I wouldnt.

That's exactly what modern collecting has become: lottery scratch-off tickets. Chasing "limited" autos" and other manufactured "rarities" that are only rare because some number-stamp says they are. By the time Mike Trout is 60, he will make Pete Rose seem like a lazy signer. Having have said that, it's good that the industry is still thriving amongst young collectors, and it is nice to collect modern players you can root for. I used to watch Griffey and Frank Thomas' box scores like the NASDAC.

Actually modern superstars sign FAR less overall than Hall of Famers who toured the card show circuit in the 80s-90s.

How long will it be before a card company starts buying valuable cards like a Mantle rookies, Cobbs, etc takes them apart in 2 layers, cut them into very small squares, and makes limited 1/? something cards? Maybe this is a dumb question it would be something different or at least I think it would. And no I would not like it.
