Remember those short dull scissors you had in 1st grade?

Well I think someone took a pair to these cards. A shame, too. I'd have loved to have 'em.

    Actually if it happened today I would have an assault rifle in my 1st grade cubbie hole. Schools are rough you know.
  • yeah, guns are better than scissors for a knife fight!
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!
  • Heh - my girl has a pair of those scissors on her little desk right now!
  • Got a whole box of 'em in my classroom!

    I like the ones that are stamped LEFTY.
  • Used to get that on my report card...."Runs with scissors!!"

    When I saw the thread title, I thought this was going to involve O-Pee-Chee in some way or another.

    In Fairfield Connecticut where I lived until the 4th grade before moving to Philly, a neighbor of ours who had a son my age I was friends with, worked for Topps. He would occasionally bring home uncut sheets for his son to cut up for cards. Occasionally his son would share an uncut sheet with his friends to cut up. It was a madhouse as about 3 or 4 of us would sort of grab the "big" sheet and begin cutting - FREE BASEBALL CARDS - it didn't get any better than that! - LOL

    Below is one I personally hand cut from one of those sheets with one of those little scissors. Needless to say I never became a tailor - LOL.

    Nice story. I find it even cooler that you saved the card all those years image
