The UD jerseys weren't cut up but give away whole as prizes.

Halper was an avid collector before a lot of the stuff was worth much. He purchased a lot of the jerseys long before game used collecting was a big thing-- so he was a man ahead of his time. As a minority Yankees owner he know many players, like Mantle, DiMaggio, Brett and Rose. Many of the jerseys and bats were given as gifts to him by the players as they knew Barry and knew he was an avid collector.
