2 Mantle cards in 1 slab?

I don't get this. A Topps Steling card on one side and an Upper Deck Masterpieces cut auto on the other?

What did this guy do, glue to 2 cards together and send it in to get authenticated when it was already certified by UD?

Strange

  • There is a few of these type of custom cut cards on ebay. Looks like someone took a framed Masterpiece parallel and got rid of the card in the border, then applied it to whatever they wanted to make a custom.
  • LOL I think it's funny how one side is a Topps card and the back is the border from a UD Masterpieces card.

    I think that might be an actual Masterpieces cut sig, not a custom

    I just don't get why someone would put those 2 cards together to make one when both cards are just fine by themselves. What would the purpose possibly be?

    Not sure about how the card was made, but it's a kewl item. HOWEVER, it kind of sucks for display purposes. I'd rather have each of those in a separate slab (may not be possible ... it might be one card now) ... they would look nice displayed together.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Don't like the idea - both cards have something on the other side that's buried for life.

    But, hey, someone might like it?

  • I met a guy at the Philly show at the PSA table who did these custom cards. I am willing to bet that is one of his cards. The reason why is he was talking to a PSA service rep about having them authenticate his custom stuff and had a handful of stuff. I even over heard him saying that Beckett authenticated his stuff as a lever to get PSA to do it. Either way I was sitting there filling out my Submission for a 50 card sub I had to submit and over heard him talking to PSA. I started a conversation with him on the UD Masterpieces and was showing him my 2007 Jeter Blue Steel card. He was inspecting the border and realized he could use those to custom make more of his cards...


    Personally I don't like the custom cards. I won't buy them or own them...

    Cuz a card is just cardboard until it's been slabbed by PSA. image

  • The same guy made the worst custom Babe Ruth cut auto card.

    He cut out Babe and put it on a Allen and Ginter Mini! I wonder if he made another card with the Ruth cut.

    That autograph of the Babe was taken from a postcard signed "Babe & Claire".

    No Ruth out there for him to make another custom lol.

    Nope, the Masterpiece is a custom, not an actual cut from Masterpieces. I don't even think there were cuts in Masterpieces.
