Addie Joss Jersey card on Ebay

[iwantitiwinit]

That Joss card says #6/10. The swatch at a maximum is 1 inch x 2 inches so the total area of the pants used for the cards is only 1 inch x 20 inches or 20 sq inches. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF ADDIE'S PANTS!!!!????

Saved for another card issue supposedly
Print run is huge for modern cards so in that set they only made 10 for manufactured scarcity.
My opinion is that at some point people will come forward with the truth about how all this was handled. There is no way that all these bat cards and jersey cards are legit. And I personally hate the whole process. Throwing a wagner bat into the chipper to make cards with slivers of it. Ludicrous.

If people hate it so much why don't they just buy it themselves?
Biased on the collections here there are plenty of rich people that could afford it and then donate it themselves.
Topps is a company, they buy things to make money, not preserve because no one else is wants to step up.
I'd rather own a piece then some old dude have it locked away in his collection to never see the light of day.

But to each there own.

While it's a fair point, I would rather see an old dude driving around in a vintage Ferrari than have a piece of the door panel in my garage.

Well said, and quite funny.

I'm hardly rich, but I picked up a few nice items over the last 40 years.

I'm totally against this sort of card, with the a few exceptions. Like a bat or jersey of a current player where they can use it once, call it game used and move on to another. Or if the original item is in truly horrible condition. Like maybe someone hemmed Joss pants for a minor leaguer and saved the cut off bits.


The whole "it lets many people have a chance at owning a scrap of something historical" is just a bad joke of an excuse. If you believe in it, cut something from your collection up into enough scraps to send one to each member glue them to a card and mail them out.

I am with you on this. The other thing is there has been some major fraud with different "pieces of" cards. Never been a fan of them but to each their own, I guess.

Looks like a ton of Joss jerseys are listed on ebay. We could piece the pants back to gather.

I like the jersey cards of modern players. They're really the only modern stuff that I like. I just think they are pretty cool cards. But, like many of you, I don't like that they cut up Babe Ruth jerseys and Ty Cobb bats. Those are limited supply items. I'd much rather know someone has a full Ruth jersey in their collection than have little pieces cut up in a bunch of cards. I don't even like the idea of someone taking their own collection and cutting up pieces to share with others.
