What's the difference between gluing a cut auto and a sticker.

I've seen a few older cards where a cut autograph has been glued to it without any trimming but I've heard some say its not a good idea. Basically it's been stuck direct on to the card front. Obviously now cards are made from different cardstock, and a lot of autograph cards are stickers things are a lot different. However, if you used archival/acid free glue is it possible possible to stick cut autos to the vintage card?

If you do this, you will ruin both the card and the cut, IMO.

It’s altering the card which would kill any value. But if it’s for your personal collection I guess you can do whatever you want

Food for thought. Funny thing is that people already ruin the card by cutting a section out to place the autograph in, ans i would assume some adhesive is used to stick the autograph??
