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. :D

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?
