Default

I have traded away about all my Sean Taylor stuff to guys on this site, I might have some base cards of him laying around somewhere, but I am not real motivated to join the Ebay binge sellers.

I am a business teacher, and this is just another example of the law of supply and demand. If you have what is being demanded and wish to sell it, you will profit. When it comes to profiting from a death, I don't necessarily agree with it, but I understand it. Big business is all about profit maximization, a lesson we in the sportscard hobby have all seen. (the sportscard companies themselves seem to just care about our money, not us - another debate for another time) Most people you will deal with want as much as they can for what they have, our education system nurtures making money. Not that there is anything wrong with making a quick buck, but sometimes we do things others might construe as immoral or unethical. Making money off of Sean Taylor's death might seem wrong to some, but again, it is not illegal.

If I had any great Sean Taylor cards I would prefer they go to someone who would really appreciate them. But if I need to get some food for the family, they would be on Ebay.

Please do not send DC UNLESS you have a package 3/4" wide or wider. While your post office may let you send it, mine charges me extra if it isn't "by the book".
