Disgusting.

That comic they are cutting doesn’t look that bad.

Many people without much money would be glad to own a vintage comic in poor condition, when they can’t own one in top form.

Awful news.

My first reaction was shock, then as that settled down I realized that it isn’t that bad. The issues that they are cutting up are in poor condition, and it’s not like they are the only copy of the issue in existence. While these should be cool cards, I would definitely rather save to own the entire comic in poor condition than the get one of these cards.

I think upper deck, should purchase a 1909-11 t206 Honus Wagner card or a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card…….and cut those up-into little pieces !!!!

My hope for the future….is people talking about upper deck-just in the past tense as a company !! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

Very cool. You have to imagine that at some point a couple sports card companies will do the same with beat up SI’s, Sporting News or newspapers.
