The nicest Thome card I've ever seen.

There's a similar Milledge card of one of those with the starting price over 100. Way too much for that.

It looks like it is from a game issued bat. Most all game used bats have nice scuffing and wear on the bottom. That looks like it never saw the field.

The sticker auto is horrid. In any effort to make things easier for the company, they have decided to use stickers that are hardly aesthetically pleasing. Is this the best that card companies can offer?

And that is one of the reasons I shifted my collecting from cards to full game used items... A tacky ugly sticker and a small piece of the bat. Usually the bat barrel cards which is basically just the name plate sell for more than a whole bat.

People who buy game-used cards often give the rationale that they are easier to store/display than the whole bat or jersey.

I can only assume that some card collectors have no idea that they can actually have the actual bat for around that price. Oh well, some learn, and some just stay with cards.
