    BKAH - It still doesn't beat my favorite...Topps 2 or 3 years ago had a small pouch of dirt embedded in a card...jay

    Event-used facemask is even worse than game-used. I got one of those for free a few months ago (Trader Speaks contest). That means that at the rookie photo shoot, a player put on the helmet for a couple minutes while posing for photos. image
    Those still don't hold a candle to game-used dirt, wall, dugout bench, or stadium seat. image

    As long as you clowns keep snapping it up...they'll keep making it.

    Its all shady after 1980

    Loves me some shiny!
  • they could get an awful lot of those cards out of one face mask with the size of the sliver they put in the card.

    I also have a card with game-used goal post pad. It also has a piece of a Marvin Harrison jersey on it, so it's not a total waste.
    I don't mind something like that as an add-on to a jersey or other uniform piece, but by itself, it's ridiculous.
