[QUOTE="Joe, post: 265362, member: 440"] While I have also heard that many cut cards came from the Kenner Employee store you simply cannot say ALL cut cards trace back to Kenner because it would be untrue. I have seen plenty of cut card Trilogo and Palitoy figures over the years for example, they definitely didn't come from any Employee store. It's more likely that parents used to cut them up so they were easier to wrap as presents (to keep the kid guessing..stick 10 cut cards in a shoebox and wrap it up etc). May also have been done for storage reasons or something. People do odd things like that. My personal opinion of cut cards is that while they are neither loose nor MOC they are quite cool and I don't think it's really fair that they get opened. They are still sealed after all but in that state they are an easy target for U graders unfortunately. I don't think collecting cut cards is really something anyone could do with any success though, I doubt you could get an entire loose set on cut cards that easily and they would be a pig to display. In fact the only time I have ever seen someone go after cut cards and keep them that way was when Sacko on RS used to buy cut card Lili Ledy figures. He had quite the collection at one point and it was very cool but they had the Ledy appeal so there was something a little bit more special about them than regular Kenner. [/QUOTE]
