Cut
Signature - or "Cuts" - A signature
on a small piece of paper, or "cut" from a
larger piece. The lowest Item in value for a signature.
Index cards are the next step up in value, and both sell
at a fraction of the higher priced Photos, Baseballs,
Bats, and equipment. Cut Signatures are often cut from
an item that has been ruined to save its value such as a
baseball card, cover of a publication, photograph,
letter or notebook on which it was originally signed.
"Cuts" are commonly used for inserts
by baseball card companies. Collectors
will also pay a premium for inscriptions such as
"500 Home runs," and pay less for personal
inscriptions like "Good Luck Mary
TIP!
Don't Forget to keep your
Autographs Away from a lot of Light, especially sunlight! Even reflected sunlight will take its toll.
The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect
lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and
50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically
for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid
excessive handling.
