Let's See Your Game Used Memorabilia Cards That Show Actual Game Use

This is the first "Game Used" Memorabilia Card that I have seen that shows actual game use "Infield Dirt." Would like to see any others out there. Thanks!

I have to believe there are some others out there. Any recommendations of other sites where else I can check?

I know this is in a baseball thread but the only one I have is London Fletcher on my beloved Redskins...

Thanks for sharing! I think all "game used" memorabilia cards should show game use on them. I have searched and searched and really can't find many that have game use on them. Again, thanks!

I collect some modern game used equipment--jerseys, pants, hats. I primarily pick up Yankees items and very few of them show any significant amount of wear. I cannot imagine, given the market for game used memorabilia, that many of these items are seeing that much use before they are pulled and sold. If you cut up any of my uniforms, I'd say maybe 5 of the 1000, or however many it is, cards you'd make out of it would actually have a piece of fabric on it that looks used. I'd imagine football is a bit of a different story given that a lot of those guys end up on the ground at some point.

I have searched and searched over the past few years looking for Game Used Memorabilia cards that show actual game use on the pieces of material, and found maybe four. Is it that rare? If so, then I have to wonder if most of the pieces are really from game used.

I noticed about a year ago that Starlin Castro Museum Collection cards showed a bit of wear. It wasn't just one here or there either. I don't know what Castro was doing in his uniform but he was the only one that I noticed

EDIT: Here's one example

I have a decent size G/U collection and this is the only one I have.

Picked this up last week at a local show. I remembered this thread and bought it because of it. I don't collect football but thought it was cool because of the game use. I'd let it go for $25 if anyone wants to add it to their game used collection. My son also has an A-Rod batting glove with pine tar on it. I don't have a scan but will scan it if anyone wants to see it.
