Now I get it... I had to look closely at the card. At first I thought someone put the image of a band-aid in the middle of the card. Ok, there's a real blue sapphire in the middle of that thing... yeah, that's a really cool baseball collectible....NOT.... What are these companies thinking? Yeah, let's sell a card with Lou Gehrig on it, maybe the baseball card collector will like a blue sapphire to go with it...

They're not bogus stones. No need for that. Non-gem grade sapphires, rubies or diamonds are abundant and cheap. The idea is stupid.
As for modern, I collect some because I enjoy it but I am all about the visuals. If the card is FUGLY I don't care if they glue a chunk of the holy grail to it, I ain't buying. That Gehrig in the OP is a particularly crappy looking one. Some modern sets are pretty interesting with intricate cuts, non-traditional materials, etc.   This one seems appropriate for the season:

Looking to start a crypto-code baseball card currency.
Need backers! First 10 people with $10,000 to get me started are guaranteed to double their money after I get about 40 more people to invest. Anybody available to help me out (I mean to double your money)?

These are probably considered closer to vintage than modern now for all I know, but of cards with a shiny look to them, I have long thought both of these hold up well.

Hasn't there also been a few times when it was revealed that major card companies bought jerseys, etc. and put them in relic cards only later to discover that they weren't authentic? I would have thought a couple revelations like that would have put a stop to all relic cards, because even if it says "certified used" or whatever on the back, it might not be true! But alas, companies are still producing them...
