is that a retail jersey?

It is absolutely retail A nike game jersey has no mention of where it was made on that tag .......I believe sometimes these "sellers" get a jersey card and doctor it up to make it look like a better card by replacing whatever swatch was in it originally looking for a better payday

That's the retail tag. Even the event worn jerseys tend to come from the teams. At least the Bears jerseys that I have seen.

Yes let's not forget the teams have a big responsibility in the relic business. Not only do they cut up jerseys themselves, I just saw a topps card that actually had the the relic piece authenticated by MLB. Let's not just blame the card companies many teams are jumping in on the opportunity too.

Re: Panini Turns Tom Brady's 2013 AFC Championship Jersey Into Jersey Cards

the part that gets me is that there is only 5 cards with it. DO they save it and reuse the jersey for another year? We all know one jersey doesn't equal 5 cards.

mad87man ... I think they use the premium patch cards ....players name letters in a series of 5 cards for their panini immaculate brand ....at several hundred dollars a box ...and only contain one pack . They probably use other swatches in their other brands like contenders etc.....

"The enclosed game-worn material is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc"

Guaranteed how? You haven't told us who wore it, in what game it was worn in or even what it is. You didn't even firmly state that the swatch came from a jersey, you simply called it material. That has to be the most vague and worthless "guarantee" that I have ever seen. They didn't really say anything and there is no way to hold them accountable. It could have been worn by an 8 year old kid in a flag football game.

I think the card companies should cut up a Honus Wagner T206 card and do insert cards with the pieces.

here's one that may be worse than brady's .... doesn't show the process but it was done to this jersey as well ...probably way scarcer than a brady

Re: Panini Turns Tom Brady's 2013 AFC Championship Jersey Into Jersey Cards

Gix makes outstanding points. However, legitimate concerns have been raised about card companies having a lack of controls to assure that their items are valid.

Another point: in the game-used market as well as unique collectibles in general, many new buyers don't know what's available. That explains strange price discrepancies. I've found that most MLB fans still don't know that authenticated balls are available ( especially where they're not near a MLB stadium) I don't understand why fans will buy authenticated game-used dirt, when for almost the same price they can get a ball that's guaranteed to have some of that dirt!

But it's a free market. I formerly bought g-u cards because I didn't know how to obtain full items. Once I learned, I lost interest in the cards.
