Set: Topps Pro Debut - AFLAC Debut Cut Autographs (Rate)

Card: #DC-CB Cam Bedrosian


“ I don't like cut autos as a general rule, but a card chopped up to fit inside another card is the worst, ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I've never had much luck coming across AU or MEM cards, and so I'm a little jealous anytime I see an AU & MEM card. Overall though this is a very nice card. ” -Soarin22

“ Is this a 'cut signature' where the signature was cut from another card? Bizarre concept if so. ” -bevans

“ Odd card. I thought they only used cut autographs when the subject was dead. ” -switzr1

“ This is a VERY odd card. A cut signature of an autographed baseball card. Guessing that AFLAC set did not sell very well and there were a ton of extras sitting around, but would like to see those put in a repack box rather than this. Also not a fan of using cut signatures of living players. All in all, a horrible idea. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Fun fact, Cameron Bedrosian is Armenian-American. As for the card, I want to see more of the Aflac duck. ” -NickyCollects

“ ACK NO NO NO NO Cutting up one card to put the autograph onto another card NO NO NO. UGHLY I hate this card trend more than the concept of relic cards which began as "Jersey" or "Game Used" cards, now commonly called "relic" because the piece of fabric or material can be anything now not just a piece of jersey or another part of the uniform. ” -captkirk42

“ Very cool card. Turned in to a pretty solid player. ” -crushnmove

“ I like this. ” -cjjt

“ Doesn't do much for me. ” -kents_stuff

“ I don't understand why Topps Pro Debut would do cut autos. Prospects are happy to hard sign for Topps. It's not like these guys are dead, or have exclusive deals with Upper Deck, or have a prohibition against signing because they are still in college, or are making F-U money and can take an attitude about signing. ” -abide

“ Cut up one card to stick it in another? Madness ” -twfurey

“ I don’t like cut autographs of people who are still alive and can sign. If the player is no longer with us I have no issue with that, but if they’re still able to sign autographs, why cut one that already exists? ” -StarrsCards

Not just a cut auto, but numbered 148/200. In other words, 200 cut autos were made for that player and each other player in that set. Cut autos from dead people are rarely more than 1/1 or ?/2.  In that case, they cut 200 autos for each player and they're still living. Weird.

I like autos, I like SN or limited production cards.  Cutting up uniforms and equipment just seems totally wrong to me.  You can never get that historical artifact back after you've chopped it up.  And more so, you don't have any proof that the cut up fragments of jeresy belonged to that player.  I guess however strange it is, cutting up an autographed baseball card to make another baseball card doesn't bother me as much.  But your taking the manufactures word that it's genuine, or authentic.  But it seems widely expected in this hobby.
