One of my pet peeves is when a collector says the following:

"If I sell this baseball card, I want to make sure it ends up in a good home."

Has any baseball card ever ended up in a bad home? Does anybody on this board abuse his baseball cards? Have you ever left a card on the stove next to the pilot light? Have you ever stored a card in a dank basement for an extended period? Have you ever drilled a hole in a slab with a power drill, impaling the card? Have you ever dropped a valuable card into a vat of sulfuric acid?

Trust me, anyone who pays up for a baseball card will take care of it and give it a good home. And if you are concerned it might end up with a dealer instead of a collector, forget about it. Once you sell it, it's out of your control. Just let it go.
