I have never removed Ed Bouchee from my Topps baseball sets

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.

I have a big run of NFL HOF signed photos, and got an OJ in a big group I purchased. I kept it more because I couldn't swallow the thought of selling it, but it has value so I didn't want to trash it. So if you look through my photos it's at the very end. I would not seek him out, nor would I spend an extra dime on Ray Lewis.

What did he do? I just checked wikipedia and it doesn't mention anything criminal.

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

He was supposed to be card #145 in the 1958 Topps set. They removed his card.

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.

This conversation must drive set collectors crazy. I'll bet everyone has a few players of sketchy character represented in their collections, even if they don't realize it. How about Jake Powell, Jeff Heath, Ed Bouchee, Ben Chapman, Lenny Dykstra, Mel Hall, Chad Curtis or Cesar Cedeno? How about the definitely amoral Leo Durocher? That's just a few of the top of my head. I'm sure there's a few bad apples in every card set.

Well, call me judgemental, but I draw the line at butchering 2 people.
