Your post made me laugh out loud. Good thing I wasn't drinking the glass of milk I just poured.

I don't mind stuff from current players or recent players where they can just use something for an inning and hand it to the card company rep.

But chopping old stuff bugs me, and bugs me more all the time.

Since Pannini is Italian, I expect to see cards with the bits the crazy guy hacked off the Pieta a few years ago, or maybe chunks of that tower in Pisa.
Or some Maradona jersy bits with a bit of world cup ball thrown in?

Probably not......

And I've really come to hate the lame idea that it's great because a lot of people who can't afford a jersey or bat can have a chance at a tiny bit of one. THANK YOU AGAIN 99%. (Higher theft rates have caused the state to make selling used items very difficult. Selling rebuilt used bicycles was a nice little bonus for me, some of which went towards cards. )

it is almost unfathomable that Topps would cut up a Josh Gibson bat... Truly an important piece of baseball history ruined for the sake of profiteering. I still can't believe it

It's probably all fake anyway. (As he peruses yet another auction with innumerable perfect single signed Babe Ruth baseballs.)

I think the mantle jersey in the bag was from his post career. Cause I think I saw a post 1970's Wilson tag. Plus I think the Yankee pants should have had names stitched in the pants not just written?? How could they cut up a josh Gibson bat.

blame Donruss/Playoff....they are the ones who started this....they wanted to make a spalsh upon their return in 2001...they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on auction items that tehy fully intended to cut up!

one of the items was a Joe jackson bat they paid around $20,000 for...chopped it up good but
too bad they lost their MLB License before they produced that card...
