I don't think so. IMO most collectors of relic cards don't have a clue as to the "leap of faith" one must take in order to collect game used memorabilia..if Topps says that's a slice of Babe Ruth's bat they believe it without question. Collectors of game used memorabilia are the ones who are after "hope," they are the ones who take the leap of faith. And when there is no hope and faith you can always say that you visited Joe Jackson's widow in the 1950s.
