I think we will all be long gone before any of todays modern cards start holding "real value"........100 years from now maybe?
I agree with David and Frank about cutting up bats and letters and all that- just WRONG. All the way around.
But I am not against modern cards using "older card type designs",,,,sort of paying homage to the true classics. Just don't destroy precious artifacts so everyone can get "a crumb".
