Greg EcklundMore like the card world Communism than Robin Hood...give everyone an equal sized swatch of the jersey so they can all be equally unhappy.
The historical significance of those bats and jerseys are lost once they are broken into pieces and I would much prefer that a rich collector own the entire artifact - at least it would be well cared for and remain as it was when used. I can understand cutting up modern jerseys or bats as those are plentiful and easily replenished - the companies could even contract with someone like Pujols to use 4 different bats in a game for them to put into cards.
I haven't purchased a single modern card since the "artifact" cards started popping up and don't intend to.
