It is real simple. Baseball cards are as different from a noteworthy painting as in the following anology.
It is real great that the Statue of Liberty has assumed an nice even green patina, because as we all know, that coating protects it from further deterioration and assures us that this historic gift remains the treasure which its offerer knew it would be (which is why the French selected the appropriate metal).
However, would you want your rare U.S. Cent from the 1700s to be similarly patinaed (in green)? Or Barry - is the past tense of "patina" = patinad? Or worse - is there no past tense? Yikes!
Don't worry if you do not understand this post. I do not either.
