Noted a couple things some might be interested in:

And from kidicarus2000:

Who lists them as AP but the fine print lets you know they have been cut from a sheet (thus the artist never saw them/or signed them).

Cutting a Beta Sheet is a serious Sacrilege
There was 4 Beta sheets owned by 3 people I know, and 1 still on Ebay, let's find out, if it's one of them. Looks like one is not available for sale from one Member of this forum, I'm so not surprised...

It's really too bad about this NFC nonsense that has started. Seems to have ruined the miscut market and now this.

From Original owner, to people selling them, same boat, just about the $$$ and ruining the market with no ethics and on top the cutting job is a Disaster with a capital D
EDIT: I know who's the original owner and responsible of the worst cutting ever. Selling them is as bad... I'm not surprised.

The Lotus is ending tonight.

What's most disturbing about this auction is that the guy even miscut the Lotus the same way the real Lotuses were miscut. I'm tempted to win this auction just to keep this Lotus out of circulation. And shame on Kid Icarus for selling these.

I thought there was a thread somewhere on here explaining why there are so many uncut alpha/beta/ce white backed sheets around, but now I can't find it. Weren't they place on the top of pallets of boxes back then to protect the boxes from getting damaged? I swear I'm not making that up, but I can't seem to find reference to it anywhere.
Someone please help me out.

I still have my uncut Beta proof sheets, no way in hell they will ever go under the knife while I still own them!

I believe that soon a lot of Foil Exodus Test Prints Exodus will show up, as I heard from a source that one Uncut sheet went under the "Knife".

Hi Tim
Since I collect Rarities/Oddities, I have seen very few Alpha/Beta/CE Uncut white backed sheet offered either on Ebay, MTG Shops or Private owner, less than 10. I never heard about Uncut sheet on top of pallet of boxes, and that I do remember it was not mentioned on the forum, but I might be wrong (I looked at 50 pages of topics to find it back) with no success. Where did you get that info from or is it a flash back memory that came to you suddenly while reading this topic ? In between, I find back this interesting topic:

Yes, you can do business with an ethical minimum, those were offered to different "Big sellers" in the US, one being probably "Mister Business is Business", but he refuses to buy them, I respect him for that...

I did buy a few of these just as placeholders in my set until I can get real proofs. These are the ones I picked up:
Air Elemental
Camouflage
Demonic Hordes
Nightmare
Karma
Time Walk
Wall of Ice
Did anyone else win any?
