I think that card is a P.O.S.........I think the hype and gimmick of goofy cards like this are why youngsters have drifted away from our hobby.
Another thing....why does that card looked creased and smooshed corners? Was it made to look "Old"? I hope it wasn't a nice bat that was destroyed to make this card. However tpg would probably give it a 7 or 8 dave. |

I posted a comment that I doubt will get through the moderator. This kind of stuff appalls me! Should we chop up the Mona Lisa? How about chopping T206 Wagners into 100 pieces?

That's a card? And also talk about exploiting the hobby. Destroying a piece of history just to make money off of the pieces of it, and calling it card collecting. This insert revolution has gone too far. It was exciting in the days of the 1990 Upperdeck Heros Reggie Jackson Auto, and the 1991 Donruss Elite set, but now it has gone too far!

I could not agree more, Jim. Destroying these great pieces of sports history is disgraceful and almost criminal. I like the Mona Lisa analogy. Who would think that that would be a good thing? How about the Declaration of Independence? There are lots of good signatures there.

Is the George Washington hair card pubic or cranial? Seriously, I think these kind of acts are a travesty. If a home is declared an historic site then the owners are precluded from altering it. Why not have a similar classification for historical artifacts. Once declared such they cannot be distroyed. Write your congressman!
