I am being devil's advocate but if you can sacfrifice one, very common beater, and get some good out of it, then why not? Maybe you could measure the heat it puts out so we can know the intrinsic value of a card (assuming it's all there). Or maybe analyze the way the paper burns compared to something else. If it's one card, and a thousand people watch it and we get some good from it, I don't think it's the worst thing. Of course everyone else has very good points too. I am almost always for the best preservation of relics, otherwise.
