What would you rather have in your collection? A card with a white piece of game-worn jersey, or a multi-colored patch that was player-worn?

So...I voted game used rather than player worn. I'll tell you why. Other than the huge fact that I'd much rather have something used in a game(which I find to be of at least some significance), I'm honestly afraid that the companies may start adopting the "player worn" stuff if they think enough people will go for it, for all their relic cards. Hell, look what topps does now as it is with the vague wording. Hence why most of my patch autos are Panini(though I'll admit I buy way more basketball and football stuff now). If they think people will actually be okay with player worn stuff for vets and rookies, for every card produced, eventually that is all we will see.
It's also probably much cheaper than buying game used stuff. If they can throw on a handful of jerseys during a signing/photoshoot, then that's just that much less they don't have to buy game used stuff from mlb.
I will take the player worn patch. As long as I know ahead of time it's only player worn. This is for modern players. On retired or former players I would take game worn over like say a old timers jersey patch
