wow -- what a fascinating column idea

While not to this extreme, what do you do with players such as Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson

Or with a quick google -- this story about wife beaters including beloved HOF manager Bobby Cox

And of course there are those athletes, again who may not kill anyone, but do bad things after their career

Here is a nice story about Billy Cannon, beloved LSU player

One issue is if you are working on a set, you need those cards to finish. Period, end of sentence

The other issue is do you really need to have those cards if you are not working on a set. Now that is where the dilemma comes in

Not stating an opinion, just throwing out some comments

I think we all have the right to handle this in our own way. I didn't want an OJ rookie card in my collection, but needed it to finish a registry set. I bought the card, finished and retired the set, then sold the card.

I laughed at this: "Get this killer of a card! (or, actually, vice versa)" - not appropriate humor for all situations, but on a message board, I don't think that's going to far. There is a tendency to find humor in a lot of situations - I doubt someone could watch SNL, John Stewart, etc. if they were really sensitive (or didn't understand satire.)
