Would you sell to a card company?

It would be kinda cool to know someone has pieces of your bat, enjoying it.

Maybe that is how the players feel. Or maybe not. Afterall, it is really their bat.

Has anyone on this board ever asked a player what they thought of bat and jersey cards? Do they even care?

Don't waste your time, here is how it goes:

"Hey Manny, what do you think about them taking your bats and cutting them up and putting them into little pieces on trading cards?"

"What?"

"You know, they take your bat that you used in a game and then gave to your buddy to sell so you don't have to give you buddy money and then he sold your bat to a card company and they shaved off pieces of the bat and put them on a trading card that is now worth $2.50 in the current Beckett. What do you think about that?"

"Cool!"

Or it might go like this...

"Hey Cal, what do you think about them shaving pieces of a bat that you used in a game and attaching them to trading cards?"

"It is a great way for more people to own a piece of history."


Look at all the time I just saved you!

Don't you have to be licensed by MLBPA before selling any items to the card companies??

Good Point Joel. But as far as I'm concerned the card companies can cut up as many Manny or Albert Pujols bats they want too. These guys receive/use over 100 bats a year and the market is saturated. I personally don't see paying the iinflated prices for a modern day player when there just so much product out there.

However if we are talking about a rare jersey or bat (ie Mantle or Ruth jersey, clemente bat) then it's a different story.
