Mark LThe card companies who argue that it is better for hundreds of collectors to have a "piece of history" are blind if they can't tell the difference between a baseball bat and the material out of which the bat is made. Once the bat is broken down into pieces, it no longer exists. They are destroying the form of the bat, and the form is as much a part of the bat as is the material. You don't need to be Aristotle to see that this is destruction. The same argument could be made for every painting in the Smithsonian. Why not let every American have some great art in his or her home?
