Still, this is not as bad as the card companies destruction of pre-war GU bats.
Every time I see one of those 1/1 bat barrel cards I cringe. They should just put a redemption card for the whole bat and let people chase that.

Upper Deck tried that years ago. They gave away entire jerseys and bats. Problem was they were so valuable that most people couldn't afford the taxes incurred and had to sell the items just to cover the money the government was charging. I remember a story about the guy who won the Lefty Grove jersey in particular, he wanted to keep it but just couldn't afford it. A real shame, maybe that's why they cut 'em up.
