Seriously?

I would submit that a pair of Babe Ruth pants made into a many dozen of attractive cards for collectors to enjoy is a sum that is greater than the whole. I wouldn't probably want to wear Babe Ruth pants even if I had the opportunity to do so.

That is an interesting way to look at it. But I have to go with the thought that cutting up super rare items is a shame. I get that people collect differently and can enjoy it how they want to. But to me, it is like restoring a piece of furniture or a survivor car. They will never be pure natural again. To each their own....

Not really my thing, but I agree with Leon here. I'm a bit surprised that some find this topic reason to insult each other. It's sad in this day and age that someone can't have an opposing point of view without being attacked.

Maybe the companies could cut up old cards and insert them as swatch inserts into these lovely modern holographic beauties.

I only collect the modern players, because in the end I don't really care if one of the hundreds of Jacob deGrom game worn jerseys has been cut up. If I like the card, I buy it.
