Default Clipping up history - a bit O/T

Let's get serious here. No one really thinks that someone purchases a Babe Ruth jersey "to preserve for future generations" do they? The person who buys the Babe Ruth jersey buys the item for the same reason a smaller collector buys a 1933 Goudey card. And this is the same exact reason the even smaller collector buys packs in hopes of finding a card with a piece of Babe Ruth's jersey. We buy only to hoard, not to consume, not to share, not to give. just for the sole purpose of saying we've got one.
