Just FYI, the only Babe Ruth jersey I could find that sold at a major auction in 2005 was the jersey he wore during the so called Called Shot Game. I highly doubt that jersey was the one cut up and put onto cards.

As a buyer or seller of the product, I think it's a fair question to ask where a company got their jersey from that they cut up and issued as cards. If the item is truly authentic a company should provide documentation, just like any major auction house does in the form of third party opinions or letters of provenance. That would only increase the value of the product and build confidence in their product. Show the jersey you bought, where you bought it, include a letter of authenticity or provenance on your website. That's what I would do if I were distributing items like this.
