I can appreciate what appears to be your strong desire to feel a collectable in your hand. But when it comes to my collection, I do not want me or anybody else 'feeling' my graph. You are just going to have to imagine what holding a signed Mantle or Williams baseball feels like, because I'm not ever going to let you fondle my balls once they are encased.
I've been to plenty of museums, including the Baseball Hall of Fame, and I've been quite content looking at all the historical pieces behind glass without having to actually wear Ruth's jersey or swing Pete Rose's bat.
Again, just my take. I'll pick tomb for my checks and enjoy the heck out of being able to handle them in my own way.
