I don't see this as the equivalent of chopping a Babe Ruth jersey into tiny pieces. Unlike the jersey and bat trashing, the scorecards do seem to stand alone nicely as collectibles. I know that valuable old folios and books are often parsed out and sold (e.g., the Da Vinci Codex). In our hobby we see this already with the albums from Allen & Ginter.

Would you prefer that one private collector have the entire thing to hold in a dark box somewhere or would you prefer that 21 collectors have a sheet each that could ostensibly make their way to market from time to time?

I do agree that anyone with documentation like this should make the data available to the HOF, SABR and other similar record-keeping institutions.
