Game Used Glove cut into a trading card

Damn, that Brignac looks like the one that Lockerroom memorabilia had at one point.... been looking for that for quite some time, well doesn't exist now.

Sorry, Jake. I understand how rough that can be as one who has been after a glove for a while.

However, one of the arguments people make in favor of cards is that they are easier to display and don't take up as much space. How would you respond to this reasoning?

Personally, I have found that though my cards take up less space, I tend to enjoy my game used items more. They can actually be seen, instead of being stacked in huge piles like my cards. Curious to read people's opinions.

Game used items are much cooler than a card. Cards are manufactured collectibles.

While game used items were made to be used in the actual game, then they became a collectible after the fact.

It was listed on ebay for quite some time.....

Don't get me wrong I collect cards, only game used cards of Rays players, so really I only buy ala-carte and get 10 cards a year then get them autographed, patch cards are reat for getting an auto right on the jersey. They display well and yes are a lot smaller. Plus a lot of them are under $5 shipped on ebay.

I am amazed at items though like "prospects" who have a game used glove/jersey card numbered out of like 100. THen the player never makes it and no other cards are made, what did the card company do with the remminents? This happened with Rays prospect MATT White a number of years ago, he had a glove card numbered out of 100 (VERY SMALL patch of leather). What happened the rest of the glove? Probably went into a labeled storage container and into a vault, then eventually tossed.

Perhaps instead of tossing the glove remnants, they were made into Manny Ramirez glove cards. Or Randy Johnson. The card companies wouldn't ever try to pull a fast one on the consumer by selling pieces of a flamed out prospect's gloves and representing them to be those of a potential HOFer, would they?
