T206 Sacrifice by Fire

Jeffrompa · #1 09-02-2015, 08:50 PM

Im only going to burn one if it smells and smokes like a Romeo Y Juliet or a Cohiba . Save the T206 !

Okay, last variation of this theme.

Do the "Save T206"-ers feel differently if I would agree to add the ashes as a seasoning to a light meal? Isn't there just something spiritual about digesting a T206 card? Talk about T206 collecting! Becoming one with my T206. Yum. I'm starting to think I am going to have to do this. But, it does seem obscenely ridiculous.

Ginger Beaumont would be a good choice.

I think that would be the right thing to do. Burn the cards

Inspired comment. Very clever.

Better even than Bill Burns, Bobby Byrne, Jimmy Lavender, Moose McCormick, or Wildfire Schulte!

Not clever, not funny, not sacreligious, just a really bad idea.

I voted for D. I totally disagree with the notion that if you buy something, then you have the right to destroy it (Lawyers back me up here.) You can throw it away, but destroying property is against the law, whether you "own" it, or not. This might be my least favorite thread ever, and I like T206Collector. Every card is sacred whether it's a 1990 Topps Paul Molitor or a Ty Cobb with a Ty Cobb back, imho.

My thinking is unless there is a law or contract preventing you from specifically destroying or damaging something you own then you can do what you want with it. I can think of some instances that might apply (not being able to do something with something you own) but for the great majority of things I think when you own it you can do as you please. Large Ass is safe with me and looking for his next trip?

If that was true, then the guys from Mythbusters would never see the light of day again. Look at all the stuff they destroy on every show.

I can fully appreciate your disdain for this thread, but I have to say that the results of the poll -- and the resultant responses -- are extremely interesting, and show a lot about how passionately people feel about their cardboard treasures. I wonder, for instance, whether mild objections get stronger the better the condition of the T206; or the better the player. I take it from your post that Unglaub and Cobb are equally sacred in your view. But, if I were willing to destroy a clean T206 Cobb, a lot of posters on here would get really pissed because it's like burning a lot of money which could be used to do some good in the world.

What drives us to protect the cards is a fundamental aspect of collecting them, and I really do believe that this thread helps us understand the pursuit a little better. I have genuinely enjoyed reading all of the responses and viewpoints. It gives me a number of interesting perspectives on the hobby.

me thinks you are misinterpreting the law...if I buy/own something...I can do whatever the hell I want with it!!!
