Still not sure it's a good idea or not.

They should cut up high grade comics so they're more valuable.

Couple threads on this already, but ya it's pretty lame.

Really? You're not sure?

 

I think I can confidently state that my position is that this is a bad idea. Anyone else?

They are cutting up some old busted copies. There are PLENTY of copies of old busted up Marvels. No harm, no foul.

I have no problem with Upper Deck or anyone else cutting up old beater comics -- it makes the nice ones seem even more important... découpage anyone?

 

What concerns me is the intentional promotion of the idea (by Upper Deck) that these clipped panels have some sort of "value".

Well, that is certainly an interesting issue. They likely will have some value, as there will almost certainly be completionists who will want them. It would make me wince if this one was a success and they decided to start cutting up ECs or Golden Age books.

If they'll cut up a bat that was used by Babe Ruth, they don't have any rules.

looks like a waste of time. what would i do with one of those cards? at least if i had a beater copy of ASM #2 i could read it, enjoy it that way..

I made $1200 in 2005 on a card with a piece of a bat used by Nolan Ryan so I am OK with the cutting up of bats. Stupid yes, but it would be hypocritical of me to denounce the practice after getting that sweet bread.

 

I agree that UD will likely cut anything up if they think it will sell boxes of cards.

I heard they were only using White Paged Twin Cities books.

Those vintage Marvel reprint comics from 1966 with lots of old 45 year old semi-key panels to cut up have value to an Upper Deck teenager.

$1,200 for a slice of bat used by a man with a lifetime batting average of .110 and 2 career home runs?

 

I'd say you did very well.

These cards appear to be selling well on fee-Bay. I like the idea so long as they're using trashed books for it.
