Here's my question. OJ Simpson is one of the greatest running backs of all time and he is currently in the NFL HOF. However, I despise him as a human being.



Would it be ok to not add his card to my collection? Or would it be noticeably incomplete without OJ Simpson?

You could buy a really beat up version of his card. And when people ask why his card is so crappy, you could say "because he is a crappy individual."

LMAO .... A couple of days ago I brought up the question to my wife and she said the same exact thing. Haha, too funny.

I will probably bite the bullet and follow through with Commishbob's good advice.

Thank you guys!

Buy the OJ card, put it next to Ray Lewis in the Killers Wing.

Like Leon and others I do think it is a personal choice. Where to you draw the line and what is your tolerance.

Lawrence Taylor - multiple drug offenses, registered sex offender. Pled guilty to sexual misconduct for propositioning a hooker who happened to be a minor.

Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt, probably not hall of famers, but both of them beat women while they were still active players.

I am not sitting in judgment of any of them. The facts speak for themselves. My house is made of wood. Only the windows are glass.

Except perhaps #145 of the 1958 Topps set.

I don’t get bothered by OJ cards but I only buy them when I’m finishing a set, and he’s the last card left. I have plenty of cards of people who made moral decisions I don’t agree with or did bad things, but to me there is a titanic difference between a double homicide and slapping a girlfriend or throwing a ballgame or selling drugs. Never include him when looking for a type card or something

What did he do? I just checked wikipedia and it doesn't mention anything criminal.

He exposed himself to young girls, admitted it and pled guilty in 1958.

He was supposed to be card #145 in the 1958 Topps set. They removed his card.
