Yes, the companies buy a game worn jersey, cut it into small pieces and make a card out of it.

I don't remember much of it, but do remember it, before the message board days. A very dull Bears chat room with maybe a dozen people typing stuff in.

And the more colors covered by that small piece, the better it is.

I usually end up with memorabilia, I never really collect it myself.

I have the typical stuff. Cards, game items, autos. Not so much into the toys though, like the Starting Lineup/McFarland/bobblehead/pop figures. I have a few but there isn't a lot special about them to me.
My favorite is newspapers from the day after key games/events. They just add so much context of the period and games, fresh raw details. Not a fan of the special issues that come out 3 days later with some kind of slopped together compilation. And I have a ton of sports periodicals from the 20s-60s that take you back to a whole different era, and because they are pre-bag and board everything, there is very little guilt going through them and actually, you know, read them. Not just an investment piece like the comic collecting explosion and crash of the 90s. Very trippy to see things refereed in present-tense like Decatur Staleys, Cards/Bears stuff, Milwaukee Braves, Chicago Stags, and wow, all the lost information on high school and college athletes that even google's best computers and minds can not retrieve data on. Oh, and all the Charles Atlas ads, dear gawd, just so many. Ads went from tobacco everything to women don't date skinny men in a matter of a few years.

I sold most of my memorabilia. I had some signed jerseys, mini helmets, etc. Most of it was collecting dust, and I actually made some pretty good money off Offer Up.

Just bought a retail box of 1991 upper Deck football cards from a site. It's usually just a 6 to 10 dollar box , but shipping makes it too much for the junk era. I still like them. My local card shop is dinky and doesn't have alot

I've picked up a few old boxes of cards from the 90's from flea markets and what not. Saving them to open with my kids.

"Grandpa Shaq, tell us how basketball used to be?"
Just don't be disappointed if they don't care about pictures of random people. Now if they start collecting their own cards and you introduce them to your old ones, they will like it a lot more.
I remember an uncle taking me to some sports convention in the 80s, and like most good conventions, they have all kinds of freebies. One table had no line, nothing, I went to it, said hi to the guy, and he was like, 'kid, you want an autograph?' and I go 'hells yeah, I love you man, you're one of my favorites' out of fear my kid-self wasn't going to get whatever *thing*. Absolutely no clue to who he was, sat there telling me about doing the right things in life, don't do drugs, stay in school... all that for 10 minutes. Not one person came to his table. And that is the story of how I met Eric Hipple.

I don't expect much out of them. Just something to kind of introduce them to the hobby and things like that. A buddy of mine's dad did that with his friends including myself. At his birthday parties he'd let us open up boxes. Forgot the set but it had a Favre rookie in it. Very common card.

What’s a good way to get rid of cards? Is there any money in them? Otherwise I would just give them to my nephews to throw in with their Pokémon cards
I have plenty of autograph pics with players mostly from the bad boys pistons even Rodman. I have autographed yzerman and Peyton jerseys. Idk if I would ever sell those but the cards I absolutely would
