Can someone provide an example of a 'cut' signature?
Both are terrible on/in cards.
I can live with cut signs of old school guys that aren't around to sign cards anymore, not so much when they use autos of people who are still here with us and can physically pick up a pen.
Stickers, I have no time for whatsoever. They are an absolute disgrace. I honestly can not believe we are seeing sticker autos in products such as NT, Immaculate.

Cut signatures started mostly from celebrities (ex Presidents, Elvis and other deceased famous people) and quickly moved to sports stars such as HOF Baseballer Babe Ruth.
Basically any old letters, cheques, and straight up pieces of paper which contained these people's autographs were bought up from auctions so companies like Upper Deck, Leaf, Panini etc could insert those autographs into a card as a cut signature.
Here's a whole list of ebay listings for Babe Ruth;

Personally, I would much have the unaltered original piece of memorabilia rather than cut it and use it for a card. I think that's a waste.
