Card Companies and "Game Used" Cards

[cjmedina1]

Re: What a true waste!

I always wondered why would card companies would do the bat insert cards? If people are this crazy over a bat chip,What would happen if they decide to give a redemption card for a bat and not a bat chip ? I guess time will tell

You see the ending price on this Griffey bat barrel card?

The guy could easily have a few full Jr. game used bats and change left over. Also, as Howard has posted before. Ken cranked out Mariners game used bats like no other back then.

WOW! Now that is just insane!!!

Re: What a true waste!

Just another example. Why would anyone do this to a Derek Jeter Game Used Bat???

Famous Ballplayer: Let me get this straight: you want me to sign this bat "...rek Jete..."?

Card Company Jerk: It saves us time.

Re: What a true waste!

So you all don't like seeing cut up bats? Guess I shouldn't show you all some of the things I do to bats when we get them back in...I have very nice pieces of Jeter, Ortiz and Pujols bats laying about the lab.

Can I have them?

Re: What a true waste!

No, I don't think anyone in the family has done anything like that, maybe one of the ex-wives The closest thing to that is when my Uncle decided to sell off many of the bats laying around the factory and in the storage areas. Basically $50 a cart full. Many side written bats and gamers were in these piles.

Question for BMH

Brian, I have a question for you about a tale that I have heard for many years now and I was wondering if you could verify if it's true or not. I have always heard that somone in the Hillerich family had a large amount of bats that they had gathered over the years and decided one day many years ago to have a big bonfire. I heard that there were hundreds of bats that spaned many decades back in history.

Congratulations! You have just received a 1 of 1 piece of garbage!

Re: What a true waste!

It looks to be cut signatures from game used baseball bats not paper ????

I wonder why the card does not specify this ?

Just says cut signatures ......

I agree , what a waste of a pair of great collectibles ........

Re: What a true waste!

what's really sad is that someone will pay 3K for that.....

What a true waste!

What a true waste! I wish they would stop doing this.

Re: Authenticity & "Game Used" Baseball Cards

Also, from what I have learned, nearly all the players keep their game used Pro Bowl jersey, yet there are all of those cards out there with game-used Pro Bowl jersey swatches from nearly every player...something doesn't add up.
