1955 Bowman Campanella

[theshleps]

Back home I have a 1955 Campanella with a pre accident signature that was trimmed so it only is the TV screen part. I was thinking of buying an unsigned card and replacing the unsigned screen for the signed one. If I ever chose to sell it I would be upfront with what I did but just for general collecting purposes what do you think of the idea?

I wonder how that would be slabbed by a TPA, would it be considered a cut if you mounted it to another card? I think you should do whatever you want with it. Though I guess it would be easier to resell if you didn't mount it.

I would like to see a scan of what you have now.

Send both the unsigned card and the signed TV portion to this guy and he should be able to make you a nice one out of them. Will look visually pleasing and you wouldn't notice it upon glance.

No, not personally, but I have seen an example of his work in person and it looked pretty nice. I am considering using him to make a beater T206 Demmitt St Louis that I have into a nice, eye appeal AUTH but I haven't done it yet.

I think I would try to make a really cool custom card out of it. You can use the entire portion of what you have. I would make it 4x6 then have it authenticated and slabbed as my own custom.
