DJAnson,
You are probably right. As a person who watches 'pop culture memorabilia real close, I have become used to this to a certain degree. I remember reading about a passerbyer scooping up pieces of glass from Princess Diana's mangled automobile and selling the bits.
I can tell you that I'm easily offended but this doesn't bother me much. I'd be bothered if it was Ted Williams' head or if it was bone fragments from Clemente or something of that nature.
To me, it's what the piece represents in a historical sense, the end of ONE life (where there others on that plane?) and is it of poor taste? Yes, I'm not interested. So we should wait until all of Clemente's relatives pass away before putting this up for auction as to not offend them?
To me, it's a 'sick piece of sports history' that some person will show up in his collection to friends as to say: "Hey Bob, What Is That Hunk Of Plane There?" and Bob will happily tell the story in a proud fashion.
The beauty of the human being is the opinion and I seem to be alone on this island.
