What is your opinion on destroying old artifacts to put in new cards?
I'm curious to know what the overall opinion of our forum members is on this. I see a card like the one pictured below, and I feel physically ill.
 Great, not only was one priceless Babe Ruth artifact destroyed, but three. And for what? So this company could sell a few more boxes of their stupid cards? I get that some people may never be able to afford a Lou Gehrig jersey, or a Shoeless Joe Jackson bat. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to have a framed Babe Ruth jersey sitting in my living room, and I'm fine with that. If I want to see one, I can hop on a plane, and visit Cooperstown. If I want to own a piece of Babe Ruth history, I'll just buy a Goudey card, or maybe an autographed baseball. But do we really need to be destroying these incredible pieces? At what point does greed cross a line?
