The historical value of this card is great. I wish card companies would cut out crap like this. Items like this need to be in a museum and not slapped on a trading card.

I think it's awesome. I mean think about it, how many chances do you get to own a piece of history like that. If I pulled that card I'd have a hard time selling it ...
imagine if in the near future cloning becomes a reality ... you could own your very own George Washington :-)

You know, for a fraction of the price you can buy full-size and complete memorabilia from ebay. For instance, 5 years ago I bought a letter of correspondence signed by Nikita Khrushchev for around $30. I've also bought a Teddy Roosevelt Presidential campaign button for $30 and a Barry Goldwater one for $15. If they were cut up and put into cards they would be going for hundreds. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me but who am I to judge?

Mike, I had to move this to Baseball Card Talk since our Chit Chat is for off topic posts.

Funny thing.... GW Bush tie card: ebay ID 300143383665
I think it's a bit more entertaining than trying to piece together a 650 card set where 65% of them you haven't heard of. Even further, I only collect basketball (smaller sets, focus on stars mostly).....except until I opened a few packs of these and decided that the additional cards (I believe it was a pack with Bruce Lee and Ken Jennings in it) made it seem fun again. (Seriously, how often can you say "I REALLY need that Jack the Ripper!") So I've now bought a few boxes and a ton of packs and almost have both complete sets ('06 and '07).
I do see your point of view for sure, but if you look at the original A&G's from the 1880's you'll see boxers, wrestlers, sharpshooters, baseball players, billiard players, sumo wrestlers, etc.
