Thought I would post a quick link to a card i thought was one of the nicest I have seen in a while. I don't really collect cards but thought this one was one to watch.

    And yet again upper deck ruining more amazing pieces of memorabilia to make a "chase" card.

    That's Upper Deck, not Topps, defiling the hobby's treasures.

    That Ruth signature looks off to me.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    What's the amazing piece of memorabilia that this was taken from? It looks like its just a cut from a letter.

    Exactly that. A full letter with a Ruth sig, destroyed so this card company can put a chase card in their product.

    I don't know how others feel about destroying an entire document to make a card but I don't like it....

    Taking cuts and making cards out of them is one thing, but when they break down paper items which had significance to make a card, it is defiling the historical value of the signature. As part of a letter or a program or what have you, the signature is placed in a certain content; when you make a cut out of it, you are destroying the historical aspect and just making it a manufactured rarity.
