Instead of cutting up a jersey why not print up cards to add to packs that you can pull that gives you a 1 in 300 or whatever chance of winning the actual jersey. If you pull one of these cards you have to send it into the card company and at a certain time they add all the 300 cards to a drum and spin the drum to mix all cards and then a neutral party closes eyes and pulls one card from drum and that is the winner of the jersey or bat or ?? I would rather have a small chance of a jersey or bat than a small piece of a jersey or bat. I do not collect cards so maybe they have done this in the past

That is a great idea and they could do the same with the cut signature instead of cutting up a letter, contract and checks send the whole thing as a redemption.

UD did that a few years back. Wonder where that stuff ended up? Presumably it was won by average budget collectors who either won the lottery of a lifetime for their collection or they flipped it for some big cash to a deep pocketed collector.

Bob Feller ended up buying Ruth's bat from the contest winner and putting it in his museum.

That is cool. The museum closed though, didn't it. Now where does that stuff end up?

Yes it closed not much after I was lucky enough to visit it. Didn't know it was about to close but now it makes sense why the lady working there was trying to give me several items for free. In the BST section there is a post trying to sell his high school ring, I think there is a link with more information in that thread.

What I meant was compared to a john mcgraw jersey roberto clemente is a lot more common to be had.
