Why limit it to two? Cut it into teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy pieces and use them to make relic cards!

Good lord Gary, don't go giving them any more ideas like that. LOL Remember when Topps had their Topps206 and Topps205 sets issued in the early 2000's, and how they also bought and randomly included actual T206 and T205 cards as part of those issues? Can you imagine if Topps went ahead and acquired a real T206 Wagner, and.then announced they were going to insert it (actually a redemption card for it) in one of their products? Or maybe do it with a '52 Mantle. Can't even imagine the furor that would create for that product, and what they could end up asking for it then. (And the Breakers would probably still make a ton off of it, regardless of what Topps priced it at.)

Umm...fractional ownership is already a thing.

I was referring to them now physically cutting up cards to sell the individual pieces, like they already do with game-used bats, jerseys, etc. That is totally different than selling fractional shares in a card, they don't cut up the card in that instance of having multiple owners.

Imagine having a fractional share of a cutup card! I think it would be time to break out the calculator to figure out each person's ownership share of the original card.

Understood. I guess my point (poorly stated) is that owning a digital blockchain versus a 1 millimeter square section of an card is a distinction without a difference.

No problem Jeff, I figured you simply misinterpreted my point.

I understand your point though, and don't disagree. I just don't really care for the idea of people cutting up items to simply make more money. In that case, even though I'm not a fan of owning digital and/or fractional interests in something like this, I'd much rather that be done than cutting up a card, bat, uniform, etc.

In an effort to make mo money and screw the hobbyist, some greedy butt head would put pieces of cardboard into the "relic card" that weren't actually part of the card that it's supposed to be. But then again, what hobbyist would want an indiscernible piece of cardboard?
