Default Cards vs. Memorabilia

Posted By: Fred C

Neat topic.

Something to consider is that those idiots at the card companies already thought of this, that's why they cut uniforms and bats and made those stupid scrap cards.

Personally, I'd rather have a uniform of a player from the deadball era but you have to think this out, there just aren't that many uniforms around that are for sale. These are in personal collections that may not see the light of day until someone passes on. I guess that's why a lot of us have to stick with a majority of the card board stuff.

The one thing I hate about the uniforms and bats are the lack of good provenance and the numerous amounts of full of crap LOAs, COAs and BSAs out there stating that the stuff is "REAL", "GAME USED", "or what ever it takes to give the PERCEPTION of (false) GREAT WORTH". Oh, BSA is BULL $HIT AUTHENTICATION.

I don't like signatures unless I got them in person or unless they are on a signed contract or document. Even then it's not a guarantee it's absolutely the signature of the person.
