I'm a vintage collector but can't afford a Cobb or Ruth game used uniform. I have to admitt I have bought both a Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb card containing a piece of game-worn uniform. It's fun to have them in with the old stuff and touch a piece of "The Babe's" uniform or Cobbs pants and think he was wearing it as he slid into a base.

Dont matter much what we think... Question is., What will the collectors 100 yrs from today, think of these habits.

One can only hope the greedy card companies and fast-buck freddies fall on their fat asses. Then perhaps, the destruction will stop.
