LOL, I remember doing that to about 50 Topps common BB , 85 & 86 & 87, dug them out for a customer and said 3 cents each 1.50 offered me 75 cents, I didn't waste the energy of tearing them in half. I just slammed them on the corners of the card and pitched them in the garbage can. then preceded to tell him to go back to his regular card shop and ask for commons (his regular card shop never opened packs or sold commons.

Have to agree with your logic. The buyer would not buy the half card, and there is no way that card was torn in one tearing as described.
Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
If any of you know anything about Magic the Gathering cards I did something similar about 7 years ago at Grand Prix Pittsburgh. A dealer told me he had a fake unlimited Mox Emerald and he gave it to me and dared me to rip it in half. I looked it over and over and wasn't convinced it was fake. I asked him if I could have it, he told me only if I ripped it in half. So I did. Damn thing was real, dealer was an idiot. Worth about $250ish in the condition it was in then. Not sure what it would be worth now. I sold it for $50 to someone a couple years after that.

It sold for a couple hundred I think.
