Let me get this straight...some collectors see the value in slicing a bat (which should belong in the HOF for fans to see IMO) into tiny pieces because "they allow collectors to own a piece of history." OK, I get that.

But do those same collectors think it's OK to cut up an old Reach or Spaulding guide, then sell the photos contained within as "cards," with their own specialized holders? I mean, that's allowing a collector to own a piece of history too. Considering many collectors wouldn't bother looking for the guides to get the great information, it gives them the chance to get a "piece" of that for their own collections.

Please tell me that you agree with this syllogism.
