I don't understand why they don't chop up a wagner, or a 52 mantle, its the same principle. they are not chopping up superman #1, or spiderman #1, are they?
Why take a Wilt Chamberlain Philadelphia Warriors jersey, an incredible piece, and chop it up and totally destroy it? It doesn't make any sense.
Let's raid the Smithsonian and cut up Lincoln's stovepipe hat so people can have a piece of it on a card. It's short term, profit driven, greedy thinking.
Destroying our sports heritage and history for a quick buck.
A multi-billionaire could buy up every single important sports artifact, vintage card, at every auction house in the nation for a decade, and take all that stuff, put it into a big bonfire and burn it, because it is his to do with what he wants. But who would support that? Just because he can, it doesn't make it right.
Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park had a good line. "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"
