So, I was curious how collectors felt about the news yesterday, minus the color commentary… if given a simple binary only choice regarding Rose’s eligibility for the HOF, would your position generally be:
“It’s about time, long overdue”
or
“Sad day for baseball, bad decision by MLB”
I am quite surprised that that the tally of these 2 options was so heavily weighted in one direction:
80% selected “overdue”
Of course, there is nuance between these choices and lots of comments followed below the choices above. But I was more curious directionally from the vintage collector community how “we” all felt.
I would have guessed much closer to even split - maybe influenced by our own Rose card collections and visions of value escalation??
