Default They're not from a jersey

https://auction.lelands.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=84504

here they are. Addie Joss' pants. I am not surprised they are calling it a jersey card. Its been done many times before. Through the years these cards have often been cut from very low quality pieces: bats with little or no use, pants rather than jerseys. There were some fakes done many years ago with the older companies but the current crop have cleaned up their act since.

However, they have also used beautiful things that make me sad. Many years ago a real Babe Ruth jersey we sold (kills me) and a beautiful Jim Thorpe jacket that came from the family (Mastronet). Its an ethical quandry. Its a public auction but in a few cases its tragic.
