That uncut razor sheet - fate decided today

Kevbo · Dec 30, 2008

I won that uncut razor sheet here a few weeks ago, and I'm getting around to finally doing something with it, but as the day arrived, I'm a tad trepidacious.

I got a frame from Wal-mart (40x27, 20 bucks). It would work, but the sides would have to be trimmed about 1/2 inch to fit in there. My dad has a printing/bindery business and I can cut it on a 60in Polar guillotine cutter, so it's not like I'm taking scissor to it.
I looked at what frames would run when I had the grandiose idea to get it custom framed dual sided, but that would cost a few too many dollars.
I did list it on ebay to see what offers there might be, but it doesn't outsell hand collated complete sets hardly anyway.
Or, simply roll it up, store it somewhere.
I guess trimming it wouldnt be like trimming a card, right? wrong? don't care?

I said to keep it somewhere unframed..

Maybe you can get it auto'd by each player on there.. maybe not..

I have seen them framed up before and they do look great.. but you need a nice wall to really show it off.

Good luck in what you decide to do with it..

There's a hell of a TTM/IP project!

Wait until Odorizzi makes a splash this MILB season and trade it to that guy who IM's you from time to time for the Jake O print plate along with some other cards

pujolsjunkie · Dec 30, 2008

Odorizzi is another guy who may be buying his own cards, or his family is. I sold an '08 Draft Xfractor on ebay to a Mike and Lisa Odorizzi (I believe those were the names).

If from Highland Park IL, that could be a relative

I wonder if it was an Odorizzi family member who hit the 29.99 bin on the red refractor.
If it was, I'd rest easier.
No wonder my 388.92 snipe didn't work on his superfractor.

Indeed it was - Highland, IL, and yes, it is Mike and Lisa (checked my PayPal :lol: )

The devil in me wants to see how the sheet would do on the open market.

It would likely have a different end if you did that again.

Well, like gilmo, it was more of a curiosity mission than deciding what a good offer would have been. I like to see it in a light of, say, a 89 UD uncut with Griffey on it, with no foil markings, logos blacked out...Then again, 99 out of 100 people wouldn't see it in that light, (yet), but I stuck it out there for the other 1%.

Or - I could be the only dude on the block to have a complete set of these -

(just paint.net work, I didn't cut it

)

That uncut razor sheet - fate decided today

how to handle the sheet?

trim it, it won't matter much being in the frame

hold out for a different frame

cut all the cards out, sell them as errors

just keep it somewhere unframed

sell it/trade it

don't care, stop bothering me
