What a shame. I could possibly understand if they were falling apart but this is tragic.

And they can't even show a Yankees logo on the cards. Garbage.

I don't even think they can show Lou, will be one of those number jersey images

The nonchalance of saying the word "History" just before you're about to cut it up into hundreds of tiny pieces, gives me a headache.

Does anybody know where they sourced this?

Part of me hopes it's some bullshit "Coaches Corner" purchase.

Hilarious that he is using white gloves to handle something he is about to destroy.

In the 2000's, the card companies cut up some incredible jerseys from Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Gehrig etc. I collect the 'game used cards' that they made, but still, that is hard for me to stomach. I don't believe any card company has cut up a significant jersey in 15+ years (though I may have overlooked one).

I feel far less strongly about pants and almost feel like they are the perfect compromise. They don't have much presentation value whole (which is why they sell for a tiny fraction of what the jerseys sell for) and in a card, they look the same.

I do think it is amazing that one can own a card with a small piece of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig or Jackie Robinson's jersey for a few hundred dollars.
