Distasteful add in the new SMR

Just inside the second page:

quote "If a Single-Signed Thurman Munson Baseball Sold For $12,991.00, What Will These Gems Bring"

What kind of statement is that. With that statement, you put one guy down in comparing him to the other autographed items. Thurman Munson was a real human being, as such, show him some honor. It's like they are treating him like "left overs". That really puts a bad taste in my mouth.

    Guess I'll have to see the ad, but sounds strange. What are they comparing it to?

    I'm sure no harm was meant.

    I agree with storm. In collectibles, all value is relative to stature. The "value" the ad is referring to is not directly related to Munson the person, but the value of his auto on a baseball.
