I don't think the card is so disrespectful as it, and other cards from the set are not really aesthetically appealing, nor what I'm into when it comes to collecting cards. I don't think they're an addition to the card canon, as it were. There are some modern cards, like the Feller posted above, that are really nice.
As far as "doing what it takes" to appeal to a younger generation, to me, doing something like this is talking down to prospective fans and/or collectors. Same thing with much about the game itself today, from the way the players dress, to 7-inning games and the 3-batter rule. I won't go into changes that I think could help the game, as it is off-topic.
Nothing wrong with an artist wanting to draw or paint something like this. I just would never want one.
