Not that I could afford them, but that is how I always thought of the Garters also. I love collecting baseball, but not so fond of collecting guys in their underwear.

I think there is a reason these things are rare. Who in their right mind would save them in the first place, especially back when they had zero resale value?

Most likely no different than the look I get from any non-collector when I tell them how much I have paid for any of the items in my collection.

I guess if you have been putting underwear stickers on the holders you already have, then it would be the same look...otherwise, these BG's have an added bonus most regular cards don't have. The "you know these guys are in their underwear" look, followed by the awkward silence part of the night

Totally cool item -- if only I had money.
What?! Is somebody saying they wouldn't love to be in a pre All Star game locker room surrounded by all those great players? I know I would. Last edited by Paul S; 03-27-2013 at 12:31 PM. |

From personal experience, I cover baseball games for the website I write for and I try to stay out of the locker room as much as possible. Media credentials or not, I'd rather talked to dressed players. If that makes me strange, so be it ![]()

John,
Do you stockpile all the oddball images you always show while idly surfing the web, or do you just go find one online right then and there to suit the specific topic. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Paul S; 03-27-2013 at 12:38 PM. |

I'm going to assume there are people out there who are in both groups, they have no desire to own pictures of guys getting dressed in the locker room 99.999% of the time, but since you add the extreme rarity part to it, this is that .001% exception. I don't think there are just two ways to look at it due to that rarity. I can appreciate rarity most times, just not in this case.
