They can probably get 3000+ pieces of wood out of a bat, maybe more depending on how they do it.
I really dislike the cutting up of old stuff. I'd ratehr have a longer shot at a redemption card for the entire item.
If it's from a current player or one who was playing within the last few years I think it's silly but ok. The curent guys can just use a bat for one at bat, or a jersey for one inning and turn it over to the company. And I'm sure the big names of the last 5 years or so probably "used" several of each.
Some items are less clear. My Fenway seat was removed by one of the construction guys in the early 70's. The cutting to remove it from the row wasn't at all neat so I have an end seat with 3 slats sticking out 8-12 inches on the left. Sometimes I'm tempted to trim it a bit......Last year would have been the time, assuming I could have found a buyer at Topps.
