While most of us will agree that it's a travesty this was done, they forked out the 48K+, so they can do with it what they want.

Card looks like crap.

It looks worse than crap.

Legally, yes, of course. But it's still wrong.

As collectors, we are merely caretakers. These artifacts existed before we were born, and they'll still be around--if we do our jobs--when we're gone.

The argument "He bought it, so he can do whatever he wants," is bullshit.

I'm not saying it's right, believe me, I hate seeing such a beautiful letter and envelope cut up. He owns it though, and it's his legal right to do what he wants.

Navarro gets his rookie cards signed, a lot of the card guys don't agree with him, but it's his right also (and for the record, as an autograph guy, I like that Navarro does that.)

Shoeless Joe Jackson Signatures are never pretty, but they sure are worth owning. They demand pretty big bucks at auction.

Is it really a signature if a guy just writes out some partial letters from his name? If I had an HO written by Honus Wagner is that a signature? What about a C from a Cobb signature? I should start cutting my signatures into first and last and double my sales.

Why didn't you want to tell the others you are the owner of it?

Please note that I do agree with you.

But, what do you say about automobiles going to the junkyard. MANY people consider those works of art. While, yes you most likely won't see a Ferrari, you may see an old Benz or even a Rolls Royce past its prime.

Many a junkyard Benz or Rolls is bought and restored. Even a lowly VW beetle is saved from returning to the iron oxide from whence it came. (I know, 'cause I own one.)

Many are, but many aren't. Do you still believe that the owner doesn't have the right to discard of it?

[David Atkatz]

Hey, Jake. If you've followed this thread, you should have seen that I gave up. I'm not arguing. Do whatever the hell you like with your stuff; there are far more important things in the world for me to worry about.

I will continue, however, to preserve those artifacts that have been intrusted to my care.
