There are cases of Ruth and other cut autos being proved fake and the company taking them back and replacing it. If the game used item can be proven fake the company not only risks their reputation, they are obligated to replace the item with a real one.
These are real items and the card companies were in the past years some of the largest buyers of these items. Game used are somewhat in the same realm as butterfly collars right now as something that has passed its prime due to flooding the market. But, these are real items.
Think how many chase cards you can create from one bat? One bat can create ruth or cobb cards for several years. You can likely get well over a 1000 cards with the thin silvers they put in. The companies more than get their money back.
I don't like it, but as they are huge buyers it helped the memorabilia market values.
