A completely different type of MEM is a VAR, imho. obxyankeefan wrote: Different colors on the jersey doesn't bother me. But I pulled one lasr year with a piece of wood, so I am figuring bat. I come on here and the card is already pictured with a Jersey in it. Both cards are the same except the relic.

Unless it's a "parallel" insert set. A set of jersey MEM and a set of bat MEM.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Agreed, I know there were a couple sets where that was the case from my Larkin collecting, but can't recall what any were off the top of my head.

There have been a couple recent examples of companies issuing "relic" cards that can have "anything" in them. Shhhh. we've entered them in as VARs. :)

This is the card. I do not see any parallel sets with a bat.

Yeah, those cards don't specifically identify what the relic/mem is. Like vrooomed saide, the bat relic would be a VAR.
