It should be noted, though, that Dave "Deacon" Jones used to be a writer /
contributor to Tuff Stuff magazine. He was dismissed after he wrote an
article about game used cards of his and he had no idea where they got his
uniform. He did not even own a uniform of his. His last article was about
a year and a half ago.

I have well over 100 game used and event used jersey cards - so I hope that
this story is bull**** - but questionning the companies about their
integrity and process is something that is not sacred. You would think that
the President of Upper Deck had an integrity - he would comment on the issue
as to whether it is true or not just like the other representatives did from
Fleer and the other company.

By the way, if you think all autographed cars are real also - you should do
some research. Some companies such as Upper Deck and Fleer have signed
affidavits and other legal documents saying that they have observed the
signing of the cards/items. Autopen machines have been used in the past by
other companies. Just because someone gives you a COA - you can't totally
believe them unless it is signed in front of you.

Did not mean to get you all worked up by asking questions and monitoring
activities of companies that sell this stuff is not somethign that is taboo.

This "expose" is bull****, as most of Beckett.com's message board members
have
come to conclusion about.

Like the article admits, these are "event-worn" materials, not actual
game-worn
material.

Now if they wanted to get into an expose about how game worn jerseys are
store-bought, then we're talking.
