Re: Very sad day for my collection
Game used was a craze, but it was the same thing with 90s inserts. And look how they bottomed out. Now there's a resurgence in interest.
I don't think you can say that the game used craze was entirely about profits and capitalism. They are aesthetically pretty pleasing.

I would never sell these Bagwell cards, and they provided me so much enjoyment. Maybe they don't mean as much now, but back then, I didn't know where to find whole Bagwell game used jerseys.Les Zukor

Re: Very sad day for my collection
With any stupid idea to work, someone will have to listen and buy into the crap they are selling.
I used to support the idea - running out and spend money on boxes and boxes and hoping to get a piece of jersey. It is a rush - get something really rare for very minimal money.
But when you dont, you continue to buy more boxes and even cases to get to the prize.
If I can go back and stop wasting money on packs, boxes and cases .... I would owned more stuff I desired!

IMO it is very stupid to do this, although the only reason card companies do this is because they make more money. If you are serious enough about the game you would be willing to buy the whole game used bat or jersey and not a little piece. Just my $0.02

Re: Very sad day for my collection
this may sound crazy but those little jersey cards and pieces of bats is exactly what got me back into collecting in the late 90's. It had probably been ten years since i bought anything baseball related. Its sad to see old jerseys getting cut up but i guess the owner can do with them as they please.

Moral of the story is that if you pass on an item, thinking that it will come back your way someday, there is that chance that it won't. You just may be losing that item to someone who has intentions to destroy it...

Re: Very sad day for my collection
[quote=yankees.stub;186593]So with the same attitude ... why dont we cut up the priceless arts, declaration of independent (the day that they cut that up in pieces for the sake of sharing, that will be the day I will boycott that company completely).
I proposed in another thread that some card company should by a T206 Honus Wagner card and cut it up to stick in insert cards. Of course, to card companies, swatch cards are only a good idea when you're destroying items that AREN'T cards. The same collectors who get semi-orgasmic at an A-Rod, Ruth, or Mays game-used jersey or bat card would probably burn the place down if they cut up an iconic item from THEIR hobby.

Re: Very sad day for my collection
How can you tell whose bat or jersey it really is on the little swatch or bat piece. With the price of game used items surprising card companies do not cut corners and buy a bunch of common player items for a song cut them up and put them on cards as belonging to stars.
