Clipping up history - a bit O/T

Posted By: BigHurleyHick

<<why dont they insert a winning ticket saying you won a signed check buy johnson or a signed ball buy ty cobb, and have the person with the card pay for the shipping? i think that would be alot better then these crappy examples of history.>>

I didn't get a chance to read all the posts but incase no one mentioned it one reason these pieces of history have now literally become pieces may be due to taxes. Upper Deck let one lucky winner have the bat Babe Ruth leaned on during his final speech in Yankee Stadium. UD purchased the bat for $107,000. The person who won the bat was thrilled until he was informed he had to pay $37,000 for the bat if he was to keep it. This may be one reason the companies decided to stick the memorabilia to cards instead of having a redemtion card to receive the product as a whole.
