LMAO .... A couple of days ago I brought up the question to my wife and she said the same exact thing. Haha, too funny.

I will probably bite the bullet and follow through with Commishbob's good advice.

Thank you guys!

Like Leon and others I do think it is a personal choice. Where to you draw the line and what is your tolerance.

Lawrence Taylor - multiple drug offenses, registered sex offender. Pled guilty to sexual misconduct for propositioning a hooker who happened to be a minor.

Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt, probably not hall of famers, but both of them beat women while they were still active players.

I am not sitting in judgment of any of them. The facts speak for themselves. My house is made of wood. Only the windows are glass.

Except perhaps #145 of the 1958 Topps set.

I don’t get bothered by OJ cards but I only buy them when I’m finishing a set, and he’s the last card left. I have plenty of cards of people who made moral decisions I don’t agree with or did bad things, but to me there is a titanic difference between a double homicide and slapping a girlfriend or throwing a ballgame or selling drugs. Never include him when looking for a type card or something

Some things are more important than cards. I have a personal policy that anyone who brutally transforms people into human Pez Dispensers does not have a place in my collection.

He exposed himself to young girls, admitted it and pled guilty in 1958.

Didn’t want to buy oj either. Ended up getting one in a trade and others in lots so they are in the binders. I got most of my Jim Rivera cards before I learned about his conviction and possible later offense.
