That said, I always cringe when Topps or Upper Deck or whoever wins an auction of a vintage bat or jersey of someone like Ruth or Cobb, because you know those will get chopped up and put into cards. And there's only a finite amount of that stuff left.

I know for sure they have done grass, dirt, foul pole, cleats, car frame, hair. Don't know about pads and I'm sure no cups lol.
Awesome post, OP
