They are not all made from cut cards. If you look, some are sigs on index cards, tickets, etc. Looks like they cut them down to fit the size of the "A Sign of History" card. I'm probably with you on this one ... the ones of the cut cards are UGLY.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
IN all but the most egregious cases of "preservation" where such a presentation can save the day (see the signature of JFK in The Navarro Collection). Overall - I think some context is better than none. I see some made from checks here and there. Particularly trimmed Edward G. Robinson. Even trimmed as originally presented, they still have something on a signature cut from such a check. Do not believe all signed checks "authenticate themselves" as I have seen written. One good look at a number of Costello checks reveals secretarial sigs.
