I guess they're just like the Helmar reprint cards - complete garbage solely sold for their aethstetic appeal. Was the swatch worn by whoever? Maybe not, but it's a collectable for other reasons as well.
Now, I am not arguing for or against defacing a relic. Personally, I have no problem with swatches used by current players - those jerseys are a dime a dozen, but cutting up a Ty Cobb bat, or Walter Johnson jersey just seems wrong.
