Comparing GU flannels to baseball cards is comparing actual artifacts that were integral to the game - actually in the stadium, on the field, in the dugout and clubhouse - to mass produced, mass distributed, pictures of them.
By the way, I just won a 1955 Pirates road shirt, all original, from tonight's Leland's auction. With BP it's about $1,240. That's well less than half the price of a PSA 3.5 picture of Clemente:

That card probably never got anywhere near Clemente, but he probably casually glanced at this very jersey a hundred times.
