[home plate 1989]

See - that Tittle is why I cannot support Leaf. They took a 1998 Hall of Fame Signature series auto card /2500 and cut it out. They did the same with a Chuck Bednarik auto where you could still see the Topps logo!

They destroy perfectly good cards to make their own.

I agree that cutting an existing card to make a cut auto seems redundant at best....but in the case of the Y.A. Tittle it actually works for me. Since it was a 4x6 card previously the cut auto for this one leaves his focused stare in the frame.

But I agree....cutting cards & photos more often leaves a worse image in the cut-signature.
