My understanding is that Wagner wasn't so much against cigarettes as he was FOR money. He was the first player with an outside endorsement contract, his likeness and signature on bats... I left the website above in a prior response. I figure he'd have allowed any aversion to cigarettes fall to the side, if dollars were sufficiently stacked in front of him. It was about the money.

And it still is for some of you (us)... what is a card worth? A card is worth more to me if I can touch it, hold it.... not if it is imprisoned in plastic. If you only value your stuff by what you can sell it for, then you really aren't deriving the full value or full pleasure of ownership. So why not sell it? That's why the good lord put hacksaws on this planet... to open up those PSA holders.
