I don't personally search out these types of cards except for the Topps 2002 Mini's such as Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb. The only reason is because I'm a T206 guy and there are I think 6 reprints with the relics from that set. Otherwise, I'm against destroying certain history but the owner of that history has the ability to do whatever they want with it. As bad as it may seem to many, cutting a jersey into 500 pieces may be the only thing stopping this hobby from dying out. New collectors seem to only care about the relics and autographs. It's also the only thing that's keeping Topps and others still in business. Times have changed. Many of us were completely fine with that bonus stick of gum, sticker, or puzzle piece.
