Ty Cobb wasn't a good person in may ways, but he is a fascinating and full of character historical figure.

Very true. I've worked with Ty Cobb Memorial Hospital in the past. At first I found it somewhat ironic, but after some research I found he wasn't as bad as all the stories made him out to be.
That being said, character has nothing to do with what I collect. I'd likely consider their contributions on the field over character issues, if I had to make that choice.
