Game Used Inserts
Posted By: Paul
Such cynics. Topps is VERY responsible when it comes to shredding historic artifacts. A Topps executive said so in an interview in SCD. He explained that Topps would never destroy a historically important artifact unless there was really good money in it. For example, Topps acquired a game used Burleigh Grimes jersey, and then found out that it was the only one in the world. After realizing there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of money in Burleigh Grimes insert cards, Topps sent the uniform to the Hall of Fame. On the other hand, when Topps acquired a game used Josh Gibson bat, Topps concluded that turning it into splinters could yield big bucks because Josh Gibson cards could be the marquee cards in a set. So Topps decided to cut it apart despite its historic significance. It's all a question of balance.
