Babe Ruth jersey (from another newsgroup)

I agree with you. I don't understand why card companies keep doing
this. When it comes to cutting up wardrobe from a TV show fine... but when
messing with true historic treasures it's insane. What's next???? Cremate
his bones and mix them into the creation of a special edition baseball card?

agree
more with this post. Anyone?

I recently read in the paper that Donruss baseball cards have
purchased one of only 3 known Babe Ruth home jerseys. They plan on
chopping it into little bits and sticking it in baseball card packs.

This, to me, is horrible. It's like cutting up a Monet painting, or
an original Honus Wagner baseball card, or the Lincoln monument, and
selling the bits on the street corner.

I e-mailed them and said I wouldn't ever buy another card they make if
they do this. Nor, eventually, will my children. Perhaps you might
agree . . .

Just one of many reasons why I no longer collect baseball cards.

I remember having them all as a kid growing up in the 80's

I totally agree with your sentiments, but unfortunately you are dealing with a
big corporation and they think they can make money doing this. That is their
only concern.
