I can fully appreciate your disdain for this thread, but I have to say that the results of the poll -- and the resultant responses -- are extremely interesting, and show a lot about how passionately people feel about their cardboard treasures. I wonder, for instance, whether mild objections get stronger the better the condition of the T206; or the better the player. I take it from your post that Unglaub and Cobb are equally sacred in your view. But, if I were willing to destroy a clean T206 Cobb, a lot of posters on here would get really pissed because it's like burning a lot of money which could be used to do some good in the world.
What drives us to protect the cards is a fundamental aspect of collecting them, and I really do believe that this thread helps us understand the pursuit a little better. I have genuinely enjoyed reading all of the responses and viewpoints. It gives me a number of interesting perspectives on the hobby.
