Thanks for all of the informative responses.
![]() This post below really gave me the information I was looking for especially the bolded parts. I think those might be the key reasons why the Clemente commands more dollars. It seems like reverie is more important, in this case, than who was the better player, the card's known graded population, and the relative popularity of the two sets, all put together. ![]() Quote:

I get that aaron had it hard but he is a American .imagine how hard clemente must of had it .I'm sure he got it pretty bad as well . I don't remember ever hearing about him getting racist with people .nothing gives you the right to be racist . TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.

You should have quit while you were behind. I suggest you do some reading about his life. Having the ability to play baseball did not insulate him from bigotry. For example, how many crosses did the Klan burn in your front yard? How many death threats have you received?

I would hate to think that the amount of money one has would ever cause a person to not worry about death threats against themself or family members. That is basically saying that money is the most important thing. I would lose respect for a person putting money ahead of family much more quickly than for making the comments that Aaron said.

It's pretty stunning to think that in my lifetime, below a certain latitude, a person might not be served, or permitted to stay in a hotel, because of their skin color. As late as 1980, I remember stopping at a rural Virginia restaurant after a hiking trip up in the mountains and the place was full of signs making it absolutely clear that blacks were not welcome and that it was only because of Congress and the Supreme Court that the owners were legally required to serve them.
So I agree we need to be pretty careful how we judge people who experienced those things. And I am not saying two wrongs make a right or anything like that. Last edited by Peter_Spaeth; 06-23-2016 at 12:00 PM. |

Funny I just went through Virginia on a family road trip.the had a gigantic confederate flag flying.
To me if you experienced it and still do it to someone else or a entire group. It multiples it and shows utter disregard .so now Aaron can make death threats to people just because he received Some.

Let's be honest with ourselves what this is about, Peter. It is not a race thing, it is not a black or white thing. It's one political party vilifying another because of their criticism of the president. The same comments have been made by others who are white - Janeane Garofalo, Keith Olberman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chris Matthews, and the list just goes on and on. What do all those folks have in common? They political views all lean a certain direction. That's why I said in my original post, it's not a race thing (the same thing is said by both black and white people) its about politics. Again, I don't find Aaron a racist, he's just a dumbass. I didn't mean to make this a political issue, I'm just responding to the comments in post #25.

David, I agree, unfortunately our politics are incredibly divisive these days, and seemingly getting even worse. I imagine that for most people, whichever way they lean, it's a terrible disappointment. But the politicians don't, for the most part, get the message.

We won't get political (please) but on a non partisan observation, from what I have seen in the polls the large majority of Americans think neither of the presumptive nominees are anything to write home about, at best. It does suck for America imo....
