Jay, you are assuming that everybody feels the same way that you do about this piece. Other people obviously agree with you, but not everybody. Lelands has a history of selling controversal pieces, they usually have at least one each auction that gets this kind of media coverage.

My guess is that if this item showed up one ebay, and the family complained to the right people, then ebay would pull it. They have done similar things in the past, they even did it to me over some player contracts that I was selling.

If the item was consigned to me, I would tell the consignor that it was not a good ebay item. I don't have a problem with a Clemente collector adding this to his Clemente memorial, but I have a pretty good idea of what sells well on ebay, and this piece would be nothing but problems.
