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