Id ask for scans of the backs of cards and watch for surreptitious wording.

If youre worried about Fake Mem or the old Topps bait and switch then Id say avoid the bat stuff. I understand that youre concerned about Ruth used benches and towels. Theyve done it before. There have also been issues with suppliers and fake game used stuff going into products without companies knowing it. Then finding out later and not really doing anything.

Your concerns are valid. With Abso Mem, the wording is quite clear: "The enclosed piece of jersey was cut from an Authentic Jersey personally worn by Babe Ruth in an official MLB game. The Authentic Game-Worn Jersey was obtained and is guaranteed by the Playoff Corporation"

Not really any ambiguity there.

Personally I hate the way the Sterling cards look anyway. Not a big fan of the goofy stencil cut outs.

It sounds like this is a big "investment" for you and you dont have $300 to pi$$ away on a card youre not sure about.

Id go with Abso Mem, youll probably be happier about it in the long run.

+1 on the going with the Absolute if you are unsure. I'd pay the extra money for the piece of mind...IMHO
