In a sane world, that would be a plausible theory.

In the world we actually live in where they buzz-saw Babe Ruth game used bats to create a sufficient supply of sawdust to put into cards....the life expectancy of autographed T201s is probably similar to that of fighter pilots on the Western Front in WW1.

Even if they did just have the lower half I suspect they'd go out, buy a perfectly good Collins/Baker and cut it in half just for spite.
