Eventually. Or 1/99 or however many they can do as inserts. Most of the bat has probably been used up by now.

Unless the bat was a total wreck I feel bad they cut it up as well. And by total wreck I mean like if a bat broke and the batboy saved a chunk of the barrel. I'm ok with equipment part cards of current guys, they can just use a bat or shirt for an inning or at bat and it's all set. But with old stuff that's special I don't like it. Just insert a redemption card for the actual item. Less work, more attractive to buyers, and more saleable.

Unless most of these game used bat cards just have a random piece of ash from the lumberyard.
