Autographs & Game-Used

Game Bat Relics

Each card features a piece of a game-used bat chip, and there are two different versions of each card. On the first version, the player's uniform number has been burned out of the chip. The other version affixes the burned-out numbers to the card. It is assumed that half the product run of each card is in the "number" style, and the other half in the "stencil" style.
