[tiamatcards]

i have seen beckett graded allen and ginter auto's without frames on ebay graded authentic just like the ones with the frames(albert pujols for example). These cards looked fantastic, especially slabbed by beckett. I would look for this to be a growing trend and think you will have no trouble getting good money for them. Who wouldn't want new autographs that look just the old tobacco cards slabbed by beckett. Seems like a no brainer to me, but only the market will tell.

The only problem with that is that you will never be able to get anything for them if you ever wanted to try to resell them. But if they are for your own PC then I am all for it. If you like it then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I personally like the frames.
