Card Companies and "Game Used" Cards

[nyjetsfan14]

I own 100s of jerseys and live in a cramped apartment with an adult woman and an adult cat. Duffle bags+closet=both-teams-played-hard archives. By the way, I'm broke as a joke.

LMAO! Nice to know I am not the only one

I guess you can say its kind of like looking at a group of cows grazing in the pasture just outside the slaughter house:

I guess Pannini is doing their part to thin the herd with the flood of GU jerseys coming to market. That video is just disturbing listening to the guy talk about how excited a collector is going to be to pull out a 1 inch patch of that jersey. Almost comical at the end how he says "look for these jerseys....er at least pieces of these jerseys to be in packs soon".

Yeah, people crying about too many jerseys can be happy they do cut some up. The Jared Allen and Lee Evans are nice jerseys with sweet use. Evans is from NFL auctions. I wonder if they got Sanchez, LT and Allen jerseys from JO Sports. I have never seen a card yet with their hologram and thermal game info patch on it. Seen a few card with MeiGray tags on them.

That's a damn shame.

what a tragedy, all in order to make worthless cards that flood the market. What a joke and a crime. That Alex English jersey was awesome, as was that Cunningham jersey... what a joke. Makes me upset.

What a shame. Too lose those classic pieces of history to worthless cards is tragedy. Those shirts are irreplaceable. The card companies must be paying BIG $$$$ to whomever owns those shirts in order to obtain them. It is also a shame in that collectors get shut out as the prices paid by the card companies are often inflated thus making the shirts unaffordable to the collector. I recently was bidding against Upper Deck for a 49ers gamer and i had to go several thousand $$$ higher than expected to win the shirt. I didnt know until the auction was over who i was up against.

JO sports and others are out to make $$$ so if they do indeed sell these shirts to card companies then they are doing what a successful business does albiet a bummer for collectors.

This one is very painful, especially when they showed the the Mantle pants cut up...

I think I am going to get sick..... watching him hold the bag of the cut up Mantle crossed the line with me.

Here is a Strasburg card out of Triple Threads and where does it even state this is swatches of his game used jersey?

These cards are selling for a few $100's
