It is disgusting IMHO. Game used Derek Jeter, fine. I'm sure every piece of equipment that touched his body in a game since 1993 has been saved. But Cobb? Honus Wagner? Not only can a slice of bat have no provenance (an actual intact bat can be researched) why is it acceptable to destroy something so rare?
I'm just waiting for Topps to purchase a copy of the Declaration of Independence. John Handcock cut signature superfractor anyone?
