It seems like for many CURRENT players you can buy a game used bat for the same price of a bat barrel (card). Which would you rather have if they were the same price?

With a game used bat, not only do you get as close to the game as possible, you get the barrel on top of it. It may be my opinion, but I feel those who choose a barrel card over the bat are those that have only been collecting for a couple years and don't understand that baseball has been around since the mid 19th century.
I guess its a matter of opinion, but to me personally it seems ludicrous that anyone would prefer a bat barrel card over a game used bat. I try not to generalize, but to me those who choose bat barrel are indoubiously uneducated in regards to this great hobby of ours. I understand some of us have our own preferences, but this still doesn't mke sense to me.
Why have a nameplate off the bat when you could have the bat it came from...
I'm done

You know what I hate more than intact GU bats? Redundancy from someone on a high horse.
For me it is sooooooooooooo simple, but maybe I'm just toooooo stupid. I collect cards, I'm a perfectionist, and like to keep my office looking nice and sleak. I have 4 pieces of memorabillia on my wall right now and they are all framed very nicely. I've never seen a bat holder that I really liked and I'm not sure it would look good showing just a single bat.
I'd have to buy enough bats to fill a certain space; I'm a little OCD like that. Finding that many bats and paying for the cases, if I ever found one I like, would be very expensive. I have 2 signed bats hiding in the corner of my office and I have no clue what to do with them.
But hey, I'm just stupid and I have no clue about the history of baseball.
