More "proof" chrome "autograph" cards popping up on ebay

Same seller just listed 2010 supers, expect more Bowman Platinums listed soon as well. He obviously won the Higgins and Scott auction: "(3) 2010-2011 Topps/Bowman Chrome & Tribute Uncut Superfractor, Refractor & Relic Uncut Sheets" about a month ago and cut them up. The auction for all the sheets went for (only) about $600.

Seller conveniently fails to mention he cut them off of sheets; he's still listing these as 'test proofs'.

Wow. Makes me think of the sample BS sheets or samples I see sold on eBay... Said buyer could just carefully cut and sell as is. Damn. I need to be careful.

Yes, it makes one wonder how much this has happened (or will) with uncut sheets of other types of cards... its just easier to discover with 1/1s. Seems it would be easy enough for Topps to correct if they were to include a contract clause that prohibits/penalizes this type of behavior by printers.

Yea, like these! I've seen so many of these on eBay and I've passed on them (although they're cool) but now I feel like the buyer will just cut them and sell them individuallly... some cards which I actually need and are rare... ugh

I was bidding in that auction. I thought a superfractor sheet would look AWESOME framed in my man room.

Once it hit $500, I knew there were profit motives there. Don't have the desire or knowledge as to cutting up individual cards.

Topps can prevent this by not making extra sheets of 1/1's. If a card is damaged, then you're SOL but if you look at the bright side, its still a 1/1.

Yet for the 10th straight year, Topps probably has "no idea" how these are getting into the secondary market.

I wonder if there are MORE than 2 sheets of superfractors? Because if these are out there, what would Topps replace a damaged superfractor with.

Seller moved on to listing a sheet full of Bowman platinum 'supers'.

There's no reason to think these cards are 1/1s as there could be multiple sheets floating around as mentioned above - - perhaps enough of us could report these cards for this very reason alone - I just did just to see what would happen. Anyone game?

Imagine if someone backdoored a sheet with a reserve of the '06 Longoria Super... :-|

I thought I saw a sheet of 06 BDP superfractors somewhere but it didn't show the Longoria.
