to be blunt I think of it all as modern gimmick garbage..
even if that sliver of wood or piece of cloth is from the Era, its not in its original form and has been altered significantly that you would never know what it was unless they told you.
The gimmick card it is attached to is "brand new" as well
the only one I can see maybe being somewhat OK, its the cut autograph cards, but then again they cut it from its original form and lost much of the story behind the autograph ie someones autograph book or maybe a letter...
a cut autograph is the lowest form of all autographs, yet this crowd that collects these pay far more for them because of the hype surrounding the pseudo-rarity... intentially "Limited Edition" (ie 1/1) is not rare, in the same case as something that has survived use and abuse over 50++ years and became rarer naturally over time or by natural limited supply.
those things are not even comparable IMO....
