I simply can't collect OJ cards any longer. I just can't.
I don't have a problem with Pete Rose cards. I personally don't believe he ever threw a game (would need to see some evidence), even though I'm quite confident he bet on the Reds to win while he was managing games. Then again, I have no problem collecting players from the Black Sox scandal, so why should I hesitate to buy a Pete Rose card?
Not interested in collecting the steriod-player cards. I think of them as cheaters.
The German issue is one I haven't given a lot thought. I guess if I knew that the company issuing the cards was directly responsible for atrocities, I would avoid those cards. However, just because a German company existed and operated during the WWII period, I wouldn't necessarily make an assumption about its politics. I'd have to know there was documentation of direct involvement in or support for the atrocities by the company issuing the cards to make the decision to drop them from my collection.
