Josh,

I disagree. I'd love to have a Ruth or Hank Greenberg or Ty Cobb bat; I'm guessing game used bats of these guys are prohibitively expensive. But there is no way I'd want a card with a sliver of their bats on it. You can buy such a Greenberg card any day on ebay -- and I have no interest. It just doesn't feel or look like a bat and Hank didn't hold that sliver that was dug out from within the bat. I simply don't understand the appeal.
