The thread about buying a full game used bat versus a bat knob baseball card got me thinking about something else and something that on a much bigger scale has already bothered me about relic or game used baseball cards...
Why don't they use more of the items or use them in a much more efficient way? For example, why don't they cut the game used baseball bats like we skin carrots or cucumbers, essentially making it so they are using the worn part of the bat and the part of the bat which has character and marks, etc. They'd still have the inside of the bat to cut up into wood chips and use in base relic cards anyways... just don't understand.
Thoughts or examples of when this has been done?
I'd go on to talk about why all parts of the jersey aren't used too but I don't want to rant for days but I wonder sometimes where all the laundry tags, buttons, etc. are for Albert Belle for example considering he has had jersey relic cards for years now and never seen anything but a basic swatch or patch...
