Who else does it? Who cuts "cards" from boxes and saves them?

[mrmopar]

I am not talking about those cards that were designed to be cut from boxes of tasty snack cakes, cereal, mac 'n' cheese, etc. I am talking about those cards that are often featured as part of a display box to show what the product looks like. I have been doing it for years, but the singles are all sorted away by player. However, I just picked up some cheap wax online and this is one of the boxes that had some cool mini cards to cut off and keep.

Show off some of your own if you do the same.



Here are a few Garvey hostess cuts as well:

I add them to my promo collection only if they are regulation size with nothing cut off.

I cut out the full sized ones too, but often there is a slight part of them covered, like the 86 Topps Rose in this blog photo:

or the Bird on this 86/87 Fleer wax box:

I have some Clark ones from UD boxes and some others that weren't meant to "cut"

This is one thing I couldn't bring myself to collect. I would prefer the whole box.

The problem is finding a box at a price I'm willing to pay

Me, too. Example:
1993 Topps Finest Box with Tony Gwynn on Top RARE Empty Box No Packs | eBay

Not a bad price, but still more than I am willing to go. Someday I would add this, but I wouldn't cut it.

A few years ago some knucklehead on eBay was trying to sell a "blank back" 1989 Score Canseco that he swore he got out of a pack. It was very clearly clipped off the box, considering it had the bit of film strip graphic on a corner.

I collect the Bonds. I believe I have that Triple Play as well as an 89 Score, etc. They're on my master checklist I received from another Bonds collector many years ago so I decided I'd get them scratched off the list.

I have a few that were cut off boxes in my Puckett collection but I usually just buy the whole box and keep it intact. Don't have the triple play one so I will need to pick up a box at somepoint.

I just flatten boxes and slide them into Mylar sleeves.

Thomas has some nice boxes he is prominently featured on. I saved many of those, such as the 93 leaf boxes. Sometimes i will just cut away the top of the box, as it is easier to store. I only have a handful of complete boxes because they can be bulky, even flattened.

Here are the "cuts" I have , all are blanked backed except the Hologram which was cut from the cover of a magazine and has advertising on the back. Also have all the Red Foley Sticker book "cover cuts".

I don't have steady enough hands but I used to get my mom to cut out my wax box bottom cards. ha

Why does that 93 Will Clark card say psycho on it?

It's the name of the dog.

Correct . And those cuts are three different sizes Depending on packaging the "cards" were different sized of the box.
