Every card is sacred whether it's a 1990 Topps Paul Molitor or a Ty Cobb with a Ty Cobb back, imho.

My only hesitation is if I buy a house and it comes with deed restrictions....stuff like that.....but I am a big proponent of doing what you want to with what you own (as long as it doesn't harm anyone else). I too think this has been an interesting thread which is more than I can say for a few of them .

So is it fair to deduce that anyone that voted to burn a card should also be ok
with company's producing these cards?

I would guess that those who voted against burning a card would also vote against cutting up jerseys and bats for these.

Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought......

I think you can have a different vote with respect to burning a commercially produced cardboard insert designed to sell more cigarettes and the shredding of game-used uniforms and bats of iconic players for purposes of selling a commercially produced cardboard insert.

Would anyone be concerned if they cut up a jersey or a bat from a 1982 minor leaguer? What's the difference and where does one draw the line? I'm of the belief that if you own it you can do whatever you like with it.

[RCMcKenzie]

I don't have any disdain for the thread. I am a little surprised by the results of the poll. Someone asked, "where do you draw the line?" For example, if someone like Trump started buying every Cezanne painting that came to market for the sole purpose of destroying it, is it okay b/c it's his do to with as he pleases? If the Titus collector were systematically destroying them instead of hoarding them is that acceptable? I don't believe so, but I respect the right of others to disagree with me. Rob

I think we can draw the line at one beat up old cigarette card. If the OP was burning famous works of art, as you use in your example, or even decent T206s then I suspect the poll result would be be entirely different. This is not a developing trend, where everyone wants to run out and burn their cards. Its one guy testing the water to see what the reaction would be of destroying one $10 tobacco card.

Great analogy.

If there was a collectors code of conduct I would say ... Wait a minute there is no code of conduct .

[QUOTE=RCMcKenzie;1448972] Someone asked, "where do you draw the line?"

This is why I posted the game used cards. A few people said if they own it then
they should be able to do whatever they want with it, then those people shouldn't have a problem with a company cutting up a uniform/bat, the fact
that it's an iconic player shouldn't matter as long as they own the item.

It's your card. Do as you wish.




You A-hole!!
