Okay, so I gave my beater 1950 Bowman Gene Bearden, which, due to it's beater condition, was worth peanuts, to someone who couldn't give a damn about his false history.
I guess that is better than what I did with a Hal Chase t205 when I discovered what a piece of $#@& he was. I cut it up and flushed it down the toilet. I was then vilified by card collectors here on net54 when I announced having done so. Tough tarts! I wanted that jerk's card gone!
So yes, you card investment guys who are only into cards for the money, the back story and history is important.
