Addie Joss Jersey card on Ebay

[TheBig6]

I know these type of cards have been discussed before.
I don’t pay any attention to these type cards but ran across this one and another on eBay. Now if this is real jersey swatches and I have my doubts but this one really disturbed me.

I have my doubts that the swatches are from a real Joss jersey. If it is, that would have been one of the dumber moves someone could have made. Yes, the word disturbing would come to mind if it were real.

Who in his right mind slices up an Addie Joss uni?? Stupid.

I remember back before Fleer went bankrupt they purchased the oldest authenticated Babe Ruth jersey and used it for cards. They said at the time that by making cards out of it more people would be able to see it than if it was in a private collection. It had to be the dumbest thing I had ever read at the time and thought they should have donated it to the Hall of Fame or even displayed it somewhere like Yankee Stadium.

I currently have cards that claim to have pieces of Honus Wagner's pants and Sam Crawford's bat. There is no way to prove it one way or the other but if it is true it is a shame that the card companies did that with any of the prewar materials.

here they are. Addie Joss' pants. I am not surprised they are calling it a jersey card. Its been done many times before. Through the years these cards have often been cut from very low quality pieces: bats with little or no use, pants rather than jerseys. There were some fakes done many years ago with the older companies but the current crop have cleaned up their act since.

However, they have also used beautiful things that make me sad. Many years ago a real Babe Ruth jersey we sold (kills me) and a beautiful Jim Thorpe jacket that came from the family (Mastronet). Its an ethical quandry. Its a public auction but in a few cases its tragic.
