Shop Owner Cuts up 2011 NT Booklet

I read a story on Beckett the other day and here is the link:

The story kind of bothered me. I see why the owner is doing what he did. Its a tough sell to sell a card thats as big as that 36 cards and 8 ft long. Not to mention a $4,000 price tag he paid for it. But, I think it takes away from the card and devalues the cards that were once apart of it.



Here is our link of the article we posted about the card so you know what it is and what we are talking about.

To me, I would have rather purchased the card whole. One big long piece of jersey, auto cardboard heaven. Like I said though, I see why he tried it. He couldn't get even one bid on it as a whole and even tried it twice. And when you make a purchase like that in plans of reselling it...you have to do your best to get your money back. I just wished it wasn't in terms of messing with a piece of cardboard history.

What are your thoughts about this? Would you have done the same? Would you buy your favorite team or favorite player from it?
