DJI don't have a problem with the signed insert cards. Kind of cool but the only problem I have with it is the prices that they garner. I once saw a Mickey Mantle insert sell for $15K. It was limited to like seven pieces but aren't all autographs in their own right "one of a kind"? Especially since you can basically pick up an authentic cut for $150-200, but I guess it's no different than someone paying crazy numbers for a PSA9 over a PSA8.
I do have a serious problem with cutting up jerseys. First off all, all you get in a one inch square piece of fabric. If you cut up a Roy Oswalt or Barry Zito, fine, who cares...but when you get to Dizzy Dean and the "Babe", then you crossed the line.
What that guy did is actually kind of cool and I guess we can revist a recent post about what is art and what is "crap". I like the fact that he says "all the greats". I follow baseball very carefully and I must say that I have no idea who Rodrigo Rosario is or Taylor Teagarden (did he play the trombone back when?) or Brett Buck.
To think, Josh Phelps is on a display with the likes of Hans Wagner, Mark McGwire and Willie Mays.
