Default Clipping up history - a bit O/T

Posted By: t206King

no. you dont have historical artifacts if they are destroyed. its like having a 1970 HEMI cuda. intact worth 100K or more, in peices not worth a hole lot. Mr. Mastro of Mastronet said in an article " see this ruth bat card, it went for $65,000 now see the ruth bat this went for $65,000. you could buy a bat for what they paid for it!!!!". and its true. alot of the collectors dont collect them because they liek them. they collect them for the book value. if a walter johnson jersey card was issued and worth 2 dollars, know one would collect them.

with the hole "letting the public have a chance to own history" is garbage. what honor do u have owning a half an inch by half an inch and pay good money for it? card companies already rip u off with over priced packs with 3 or 4 cards in them, even sometimes 5! i remeber when they issued 18 cards a pack. that is collecting! with all the problems with cutting the auto. wrong, and putting the wrong auto on some of them (ie. Plank) also cutting up Georges Vezina pads (only 1 pair exist today) for a stupid card is stupid. i would prefer to buy a program with autos on it, then buy one with it cut off in the card. i dont see how ppl cant see this.

also if you say that only wealthy ppl have this stuff. why not cut the Honus wagner up? they cut jerseys, bats, hats, pants, chairs of stadiums, balls. why not cards? upper deck only sees dollar signs, not the fact theres history!

rest my case!
