In the 2000's, the card companies cut up some incredible jerseys from Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Gehrig etc. I collect the 'game used cards' that they made, but still, that is hard for me to stomach. I don't believe any card company has cut up a significant jersey in 15+ years (though I may have overlooked one).

I feel far less strongly about pants and almost feel like they are the perfect compromise. They don't have much presentation value whole (which is why they sell for a tiny fraction of what the jerseys sell for) and in a card, they look the same.

I do think it is amazing that one can own a card with a small piece of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig or Jackie Robinson's jersey for a few hundred dollars.
