I know just minors do the bats and balls thing, I still havent gone out and bought a "box" but I think that the jerseys at a price similar to what your stating $175 is really reasonable, considering the time and effort it takes for a company to produce such cards,

I know Panini did a vidblog where they walked through the process of 11-12 Dominion hockey and it seemed very straight forward, They have a company rep go to a game, get a used stick from a player, I believe it was ryan kesler in the movie, he signs a paper, (assuming a contact of some sort) stating that the stick was used during the game and it went into production. A big difference is that Dominion was $300 a box but they used every inch of the stick, nameplate, tape, knob, It was a very cool process, and in reality, creates a higher number of WOW cards but I still think that getting a redemption for the whole stick would be even more cool.
