game used cards

Dan,
I've had that exact thought. I won an Al Simmons gamer in one the earlier Mastro auctions before these "artifact" cards caught on. After seeing what Topps and Upper Deck are doing to these treasures, I put in my will that anyone inheriting my collection or whatever else I end up leaving cannot auction or sell that bat under any condition lest it fall into the hands of those SOBs.

I'm not planning on going anytime soon (I'm 28), so hopefully by the time I reach old age those artifact cards will have proven a fad and will be a bad, but distant memory. Regardless, I've tried to do my part to ensure that there will always be one "complete" Simmons gamer out there and I hope anyone else who owns bats or uniforms of other great players will do the same.
