It's interesting. Barry Bonds' 755th and 756th home run balls are having trouble attracting bidders in their auctions. Yet a set of chewed-up football cards sold for $7,400 on eBay. The reasons: they were Michael Vick cards; they were chewed up by dogs; and the proceeds will go to the Humane Society.Rochelle Steffen, of Cape Girardeau, Mo., thought she might get $100 for a local animal shelter, after giving every card she owned to Monte, her 6-year-old Weimaraner, and Roxie, her Great Dane puppy.
"When I started this I only expected to get $100 for a local shelter," Steffen said. "But it's received so much attention."
It was a great idea. In general, I doubt Vick items will garner much attention or money any longer. There's been a large drop in the value of such items, evidenced by sales and auctions. But the sheer novelty of this struck a chord, and it was a great idea.

Sure Mike was a let down for a role model. Maybe its really
worth it throwing those cards away. And everyones free to to let
any type of wildlife to get nourishment from their cards.
But to BUY them as collector's items? There aint no beggin the question, man, because I dont even want to think about it!!

Anything that helps animals is fantastic! The sad. My son has a couple of his cards, but give me. My son has learned something from this! All I want as a mother, a son who still think Vick is a good person. Maybe if I tell him how much they sell on ebay, they will want to sell.
