    Now that you can't get a negative as a buyer, maybe we should all help that seller just a little bit.

    I used to sell blood stained portions of the linens from where Abraham Lincoln was taken after the shooting at Ford's Theatre. I had purchased a "large" portion from a major auction house with all the paperwork and I cut it up into small squares and made a nice profit. Some of the biggest players in the historical autograph industry would buy them, some of those purchasers are now PSA/DNA authenticators. Those types of relics are cherished in the historical memoribilia world and some of the same linen was even on display at the museum portion of either the Ford's theatre or at that house he was taken to, I saw it on display when I went to DC, just don't remember at which location.

    Is it a faux pas in the sports card industry to sell something like that?? If so, why?

    If it's legit, it sure would be a cool games used card to own. I have my doubts as to it being Gehrig's blood. Doesn't blood darken as it ages? That looks too red/fresh to me. Who knows??
  • yankeeno7yankeeno7 Posts: 9,253 ✭✭✭
    Well, certainly cant tell from the scan if its really blood. It looks a bit too bright red. Blood on a garmet will turn brown due to the oxidation of red blood cells. Good example is Schillings bloody sock. It's now in the HOF on display. Who knows what else it could be. Maybe the cutter got himself with the scissors while chopping up that Gehrig uniform. Even then, the blood stain would be brown, not red.

    70+ year old blood wouldnt be red, it would be brown I would think.

    I always thought a wrasslin card seller would be the first to try to pull this scam with all of the "used" mat cards out there, but I be wrong.

    I guess the seller does not say who's blood it is. (Not justifying the seller at all....go get 'em).

    Sick. Makes me ashamed to be a card collector.

    And I didn't think eBay allowed any body parts/fluids to be sold -

    I have a Marilyn Monroe dress card from Donruss Americana with a Joe DiMaggio DNA stain on it.

    Didnt Topps also insert a George Washington pubic hair in one of their cards and it was sold on ebay?
