This is a prewar board, so it doesn't surprise me to feel a little anti-shiny bias here (and it definitely is here). I detested the relic and bat cards too, until something happened. My son (8 at the time) opened a pack of cards that had a Bobby Thompson bat card in it.
I explained to him who Bobby Thompson was, and his eyes got wide, and he said "and this is his BAT?" He actually gasped. I thought that was awesome. He has a couple of other game-used cards now, and he collects - both shiny cards and older ones. I gave him his first T206 a few months ago. He loves the hobby. And he loves those game-used cards. I love this hobby and I love that there are a bunch of grown men and women that I call my friends and share the hobby with - but at the end of the day, this is a kids' hobby, and if carving up some bats will help kids discover the history of the sport - then I'm all for it. -Al
