And just like the statues of guys like Thomas Jefferson were torn down, I suspect it's only a matter of time until guys like Ty Cobb and Cap Anson fall victim to these behaviors and beliefs as well.
I would wager every penny I'll ever own that Jackie Robinson cards will outperform Ty Cobb cards over the next N number of years.

I completely disagree. I think Jackie cards are overvalued and cobb will continue to appreciate.
