Biased on the collections here there are plenty of rich people that could afford it and then donate it themselves.
Topps is a company, they buy things to make money, not preserve because no one else is wants to step up.
I'd rather own a piece then some old dude have it locked away in his collection to never see the light of day.
But to each there own.

I'm hardly rich, but I picked up a few nice items over the last 40 years.
I'm totally against this sort of card, with the a few exceptions. Like a bat or jersey of a current player where they can use it once, call it game used and move on to another. Or if the original item is in truly horrible condition. Like maybe someone hemmed Joss pants for a minor leaguer and saved the cut off bits.
The whole "it lets many people have a chance at owning a scrap of something historical" is just a bad joke of an excuse. If you believe in it, cut something from your collection up into enough scraps to send one to each member glue them to a card and mail them out.
