My head is about to burst...Ok let me ask this question which would you rather own of your favorite player whomever it may be: a cut auto marked 1/1. or an auto on card from the same company in the same year that was numbered /50?
The cut auto is a piece of history that a company bought and crammed into a cardboard holder, most of them look mighty nice. I suppose I understand the feable premise that "all autos are 1/1" I dont buy it but I understand it, its the cut auto and the cardboard holder that it is so gently crammed into that create a combination that is rare or unique and causes such clammor for them. If you dont like it, dont pay 6k for one, sit back and laugh at the rest of us who get it, and spend your 6k on unnumbered items that go for $10 a pop and see how great your collection is.

so youre not a real collector then. Youre saying your just paying for the holder instead of the auto. Im not talking at all about card collectors im talking about autograph collectors. AGAIN WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP ON-CARD AUTOS???? Im not talking about those at all. those are in a whole different category because first you have the card value and rarity and second you have the auto value. IM TALKING ABOUT CUT AUTOS NOT ON CARDS. lol...Im saying sticking a CUT AUTO into a holder and marking it 1/1 can be said for every single CUT AUTO out there because EVERY CUT AUTO IS A 1/1 but just because the company only decided to do that to one cut auto then why all of the sudden is it worth hundreds or thousands more when in actuality its simply a CUT AUTO crammed into a case. So does that mean if i cram a CUT AUTO into a case and mark it 1/1 then magically it becomes more valuable???
