1) How do folks feel about the $30 million insurance appraisal?
2) Does anyone want to make an argument for preferring to own the contract instead of the jersey?

The contract is important for the impact it had on baseball. It is what broke the color barrier and its significance far exceeds that of the player himself. The jersey's importance is tied to the caliber of the player. If I was a Jackie Robinson collector my money would go to the jersey all day, every day. I'm not, so my preference would be for the more significant hobby-related item.
