That's just not right. I don't get why these companies ruin museum worthy jerseys and or bats.

It's greed, and a desire to quench the thirst of their own niche of the hobby without resorting to having to affect their niche of the hobby lest they offend their customers. The game used community is far smaller than the card collecting base, so why tick off their own customer base when they can obtain and chop up items that only pisses off a comparitively small segment of the hobby, from which many, if not most participants aren't going to buy much of anything from them, anyway?

Interesting video, but it is a shame.

I really don't mind this kind of thing with modern jerseys etc. because there is enough to go around, but when I see vintage stuff like Ruth/Robinson cut up I find it cringe worthy.

at least they use real jerseys now ... I once got a game used card from upper deck and it had a brady and welker piece.The brady was his neck tag with a size 50 ... he wears a 48 ...so I contacted upper deck for an explanation ....they stated after weeks of their own research that he wears a larger size in cold weather so he can wear warm layers under it ....lmao .....not long after that their guarantee went from their guarantee to it being guaranteed by the party they obtain said jersey from

I wanted to throw up in the first two minutes of the video.
For that segment they're using real jerseys. But I've noticed a lot of cards from Panini 2013 14 and 15 playbook collection, they put the jersey neck tag in the cards. A lot of them are from store-bought jerseys, because it says made in Honduras on the tag. Gamer tag has no "Made In" anywhere on it.
I still think they're screwing the consumer regardless

Yeah, it definitely sucks to see that jersey cut up. IMHO Panini did this only to get the buzz out there that they're using real GU jerseys in the cards. And as others have said, that's definitely not the case, given past examples.

I've even seen GU jersey patch cards on eBay with counterfeit jerseys. So while I applaud this video for using a real GU jersey, knowing Panini they're not doing this for every product, or every patch card they make.

So disgusting when they do this. Use one from the regular season that doesn't mean anything or a pre season. I really hate when they use old jerseys or one off jerseys for them. It is really the worst. Have some kind of contest where you can win the whole jersey if they wanna give it away.

I don't even know how some current stuff is "worn" since they do the rookie premiere and they call those used as well and they haven't even played a game yet.

That's how Panini gets away with their little secret verbiage on the back of the card.
"Event Worn" or "Game Worn Material" or "Official Event" or "Not from any specific game, event, or season."
The ones that make me laugh is when it's a piece of the nameplate or number and it's not even a letter or number on there jersey.

It make me sick that they do this. Really angry. Especially to vintage jerseys that have a much smaller population than modern GU. Regular season stuff is bad enough but playoffs? I don't get it.

I know why they do it, what I don't get is why people spend big money on cards like this. In my opinion, once you chop something up into a thousand little pieces, it ceases to be what it was. You have destroyed it. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

Full disclosure: I never understood the desire to own a stamp size piece of a jersey or bat that someone claims was from "this jersey" or "that player bat." It reeks of snake oil salesmen and bridges in Brooklyn for sale IMO. Card collectors like to say it makes them available to everyone, but the prices you see on eBay that collectors pay for these things is hardly that of the average fan.

I'm not claiming Panini is defrauding people, merely that I live in reality. UD was caught with fake autos. Major G/W dealers have been busted and jailed. Wordage is done in such a way that there is rarely even the defining statement that a jersey was worn a specific day or game. In fact, I always wonder if it's like NASCAR race winners. Post win, the entire team wears a ball cap from every major sponsor for a photo with the winning car. I feel like these cards are from players who pullover a team shirt for the "winning photo" then they become "player worn".

If common sense played a part in collecting, these cards would be our hobby's crown jewel. If a stamp size piece of a common players jersey is worth $10, surely a photomatched whole version would be worth at least 100x that, no? Hell, we could all retire and live off the equity of our three most valuable pieces!

I always wonder how a philatelist would respond to knowing they could own a 1/10 of an Inverted Jenny. How about a numismatist getting a shot at a piece of a 1893 S Morgan Silver Dollar? I'm betting that the fact it is impossible to really prove they were a part of the rare and valuable whole combined with the fact it's just a small part of a very valuable whole, makes them essentially noncollectable in those hobbies. Just Saying...
