Sigh..........

Here's one even more worse. It's from the November 2005 issue of Beckett Baseball showing pieces leftovers of cut-up uniforms

That's sickening.

I say this with utterly no concern as to weather anyone is offended by it or not:

Those "collectable card" company BASTARDS should all be shot for what they are doing to historical items that can never be replaced.
Yep, you heard me.....SHOT.

[34swtns]

And who actually buys this garbage, anyway?

I'd like to be able to write this off as a million 12-year olds perpetuating this sick market but I'm pretty sure I'd be wrong, wouldn't I?

Sad and infuriating at the same time.

Maybe someday someone will give these people the beating that they so richly deserve. This stuff literally blows my mind. I can't believe that someone would even think of chopping this stuff into little bits. I'm really surprised that you don't hear more outrage about this.

I've always wondered, too, what's to prevent one of the card companies from cutting up a game issued or replica jersey of a star player and put them on the cards? It sure saves a lot of money, doesn't it?

I think you bring up a good point. I would love to know what the sources are of these jerseys.

The card companies have buyers who often buy from auction houses. (I'm still angry that I was outbid by a card company on a Kellen Winslow senior Pro Bowl jersey. I haven't seen that one on a card so maybe it hasn't hit the shredder yet)

Anyway, I'm hoping that the card company buyers do their homework so we don't see another situation like Upper Deck where cut autographs which appeared on their cards were deemed to be fakes.

I wonder if one day we're going to see a wrong tag or nameplate font included on one of these jersey cards.

Speaking of which, can anyone help with this?
