I have been a long time collector of sports cards, and in today's hobby, a large staple of collecting is game used relics/patches. These can be works of art, but in the end a piece of memorabilia is desecrated. Do you trust the companies as to what they put in the cards being authentic?

Check out some of these:

My fellow board member's collection:
Baseball
Football
Basketball

Now, I also have to address this. We, as a forum, have caught the companies using 'fake' jerseys in their products. See here:

Flawless Error
Carmelo Fake (from the company of the collection above)

Has anyone on here ever saw a patch card, and instantly knew it was a fake like the two instances that we have?
