Vintage Cards Vs Vintage Patch Cards

i think they say something like "personally used in a major league game" and "relics of" (like relics of babe ruth, etc)

Do they just use pieces of an actual game-used jersey/bat? This might sound like a stupid question, but I would think there would be a lot more game-used full pieces if there weren't all these patches. Is that why there's usually only 1 game used jersey for a player?

yes-they just use tiny pieces and i think maybe they are able to produce 300-500 cards from it.
