Damn ! I knew the acronym of the 2nd law firm in the Honey law suit looked familiar, but I was to lazy to check. That’s definitely one way to get a lawtube crossover.
Both of those games cost a lot of money to spend time with people I wouldn’t otherwise want to hang out with. I’m an old school MtG player, but I’ve sold everything and now play Flesh and Blood casually and tabletop games. Less paper crack temptation, less of the ridiculous FOMO and pricing shenanigans common in WotC products, and people who are more fun to chat with after the game.
Not really. You would need people to destroy the same players card in order for that to happen, the chances of 198 people destroying a single players 199 card print run will never happen. People are doing this to see how stupid people are to cut up their cards, it's just trolling.
it would only make a certain card more valuable if it were a SSP serial numbered card. Maybe like /100 and less... but it would be more significant when you get down to /25 and less, assuming its a big name player... no one cares about low end non numbered jersey cards besides beginner collectors..
I can attest that the vast majority of so called "relic" cards, including the near unanimity of non-serialed ones are just some random swatch that has nothing to do with the portrayed player. Even when they're legit, there's thousands of them, and a new batch gets made every year. The sports card economy largely rides on the feels of gambling mindset and artificial scarcity.
A fun trick, a Mondoline can separate multilayer cards and specialty stock. It's one of the tricks we use in the printing industry to reverse engineer security stock and identify counterfeits.
A Mandoline, for slicing vegetables? 🤔 This is what I love about TH-cam, you learn all sorts of neat insider tips & tricks on random videos... sounds like the perfect solution for a few tasks I've got. Thanks! 👍
One possibility is as a rookie he wore a generic raiders jersey, didn't have one personalized to him yet. So he did infact wear it. But I don't know how any of this works, just speculating.
So you can't properly verify it without destroying the card and on top of that you cant prove/disprove it's actually from his shirt or just a random jersey.
My hypothesis is that there is a company that buys jerseys after games, applies the sticky backing identifying who was wearing it and when. Then they dice 'em up and sell them as memorabilia. And then the card companies started buying them in bulk and embedding them in cards... and then apparently at some point at least one manufacturer did a run where they just put random scraps into random cards because who can tell. Seems to me like after this went off, next year's cards will probably have a window on the back side so the owner can read the backing on the jersey scrap. Easy way to restore trust in the system. Obviously, if the scrap supplier is tagging random squares of fabric, then authenticating anything is impossible. But proving the scrap supplier is being dishonest is appreciably more challenging.
I am barely watching this while cooking but my assumption from the tiny amount I have caught would be that authentic ones are being placed on other players post initial purchase to make it appear to have been from a different player. I don't know enough about it or the original video to know if that's valid.
This is definitely a thing for “new” basketball and football cards. My assumption to your question is… Yes, a reasonable person would assume the jersey swatch imbedded into the card is of the player depicted.
You should find local card shows (usually on weekends). there’s usually a $5 entrance fee but you can find multiple $1 patch cards. I would try to get a sample size of 100. You can probably make deals if you have cash and get 100 cards for $80 or under if they’re marked at $1. Also, there’s a new method where you flash a flashlight through the front (with lights off) to see what it says. I suggest trying that. If you’re going to rip the patch out, I would cut the top layer off and then try to peel the patch out, rather than cutting around the patch and then trying to peel. Hope those of us in the hobby get a lawsuit against these Panini thieves!
Rookies still wear jerseys for photo shoots, autograph signings etc so they could still get jerseys from rookies. They could even simply ask the player to wear it for 2 seconds. Imo they shouldn't even make jersey cards unless they are game warn. Makes them significantly less valuable and desirable having "event" worn or not even worn and just a generic team jersey piece.
Serious question, because I just don’t understand why you’d want any of this in the first place. Why does game-worn even matter? If it’s a jersey they wore, it’s better if it was sweaty?
If I cared much about sports collectibles, I'd argue they definitely shouldn't make these cards with game-worn jerseys, because the game-worn jerseys should be sold intact. If I may detour to a pop-culture field I'm more familiar with(movies and TV)... there's a similar preferential value for costumes that are screen-worn, and moreso if the specific circumstances can be pinned down. Dicing up a game-worn jersey with a specific provenance is like acquiring a Star Trek costume closet and selling one-inch squares of "Captain Picard's uniform(not from any specific event, season, or episode)" vs selling a complete outfit with documentation as "Captain Picard's uniform(screen-worn by Patrick Stewart)(episode 3x13 "Deja Q")"... and this example firmly establishes how much of a nerd I am. But the point is that the value of a screen-worn costume with documentation is MUCH higher than the sum total value of all scraps from a destroyed costume of unknown provenance. I would assume the same to be true of a game-worn jersey.
@@jediman05they usually wash the jerseys so they aren't covered in sweat. Game used is more assurance to the collector that it was actually worn and not just a generic jersey that has nothing to do with the actual player. Game worn is more personal to the player.
@CptJistuce not everyone wants to pay $1k+ for a full game used jersey. Jersey cards are cool for little kids just getting into card collecting or for people like myself who can't afford to buy a $1k jersey but can buy a $20 box and have a chance to get something small. Also jerseys you would typically frame so they take up a ton of room. Cards you can have 10k cards and take up a small corner in your closet.
You said you were gonna do what interests you rather than just letting the number of views dictate the content, and this is the first new vid i’m seeing since. I love the random specificity of it , and I don’t doubt that views will follow the passion anyway. Good to have Tom videos back
I do appreciate the test for science, even if the results were inconclusive. The more people that do this will either raise the price (if they are legit) or tank them (if they're fake).
5:55 _And a million card collector's voices cried out in pain, for they felt a disturbance in the Force..._ Ngl, I don't even collect sports cards but watching someone cut up a collectable (no matter how valuable it might be) definitely makes me wince! Glad to see a lawyer weigh in on this issue though, even with the usual "it depends" answer... the sports card manufacturers have been getting away with increasingly anti-consumer behaviour the past few years & any light being shone on dodgy businesses is a win from my perspective. 👍
Really hope tom gets to doing a pokemon related scam. Oddly relatable video since I was just searching about local card shops and shows on fb to go collect and sell pokemon/sports cards i had forever.
You are the man! I have a game used jersey card with a topps sticker that authenticates the event the jersey was worn in. The game date is a World Series game date that never happened because the series didn’t go to game 6 or 7.
Most of the time they're going to he using heat-activated adhesive for these. Try setting a mug of hot water on top of one for a minute or two to soften the glue.
Depends when the card was printed. A lot of these sets come out after the season is mostly over or totally over. I was gonna say the front has a photo of him wearing the jersey but they do photoshop this stuff all the time
This is hilarious. People are now buying random pieces of cloth promising to have been at some time associated with a particular player? People are scamming themselves buying this junk.
Interesting! True legal investigating! Was it just a little boring? Sure! Was it also fascinating? Absolutely! Both things can be true! You saw a potential legal issue with sports cards and investigated, really feet on the ground nitty gritty stuff! I love this. More random legal stuff please!
Could just be a viral marketing influencer scam, one where "Hey Everybody [Insert Name Company] is ripping off sports cards by [insert ill deed]!" ...to help boost sales of the 'questionable' cards by way of 'proving' that 'that' company is a crook. After all any press is good press if sales come from it, apparently... 😅
As a sports card collector, this was hard to watch even though they weren't expensive. You should have tried buying singles of vet jersey cards FROM THE SAME SET.
This doesn't make sense, you don't trust them to put the right uniform in the right card, but if the piece of uniform has the right name on it, then you trust it?
It is a level of verifiability. If the supplier of jersey scraps is falsely labelling them, that's a lot harder to prove, and the card company can say "this isn't our fault, we had no idea the supplier was screwing us, we are victims as much as you". But if the cards are including scraps which the cards claim were worn by a specific person, and those scraps are specifically labelled as being worn by someone else... it's a verified issue... unless the card manufacturer can demonstrate they know the scraps were being mislabelled by the supplier and they made a corrective substitution(which is highly unlikely).
As a sports card dork I can chime in!! The company notorious for putting non-game worn or specific materials is Panini, and generally within the "Retail," product availability versus what is known as "hobby," you pay a huuuuuuuuuuge difference in price in product. Topps and Upper Deck do not generally pull this b.s - they will give you a piece of history, even if it is from a photoshoot, they generally disclose it. I had to add this, the only lawsuit I see here is paying $50 for a $25 box!!!
As a 40+ year collector, I appreciate the idea behind this video (I’m not finished yet, but am enjoying it). This is something that has happened for years, it’s nice to see someone address it. One other thing I’d like to throw out to Tom is that a lot of new autographs being pulled are NOT authentic. I’ve seen a Red Sox player, Jaren Duran, have a couple WAY different autograph styles, so much you can tell they are not the same hand. I’m sure there are others as they send athletes pages of stickers to sign and send back. Then, no matter what, they slap it on a card and some poor sap pays money for an athletes sister’s version of his autograph. To me, that seems illegal. But I’d love to see you do a video on that.
People in the card community are well aware that companys like Panini who manufacture these "memorbilia cards" containing a piece of sports gear of a specific player that are stated to "not be from any specific game or event" are simply clothing that the company purchases from somewhere and has the person put on and then take off to avoid any lawsuits.
It's not "ASGRAD" it's "ASGARD" or "Ásgarðr" in Old Norse. It's the place where one type of the Norse mythology's gods "Æsir" built for themselves in "Midgard". The "AS" (actually "Ås") part is the singular form of "Æsir" and last part of the name, "gard", is the same word we still use in Norwegian today for "farm".
Lmao wtf is this Tom

"Asgrad Games"
Not "Asgard" the place in Norse mythology.
You mean Nrose mhytology.
Why wouldnt they just... print the player's name on the back of some random fabric... Why would they ever print a _different_ player's name...
My hypothesis is that there is a company that buys jerseys after games, applies the sticky backing identifying who was wearing it and when. Then they dice 'em up and sell them as memorabilia.
And then the card companies started buying them in bulk and embedding them in cards... and then apparently at some point at least one manufacturer did a run where they just put random scraps into random cards because who can tell.

I love the idea of just watching Tom cut up sports cards all by itself. You need a larger sample set Tom! The baseball cards were sketchy...
Hey Tom I work at the place that prints and packs all these cards if you want any more info just let me know :)
I remember seeing images where a player would put on a dozen jerseys or more in the off-season for 2 seconds and this would seed these types of cards
That makes a lot of sense, actually. And explains the "not worn in any specific game or event" disclaimer.

You should have tried buying singles of vet jersey cards FROM THE SAME SET.
This doesn't make sense, you don't trust them to put the right uniform in the right card, but if the piece of uniform has the right name on it, then you trust it?
Well, the dude on tiktok confirmed that this is a problem that exists, so they were checking if other cards have the same problem.
It is a level of verifiability. If the supplier of jersey scraps is falsely labelling them, that's a lot harder to prove, and the card company can say "this isn't our fault, we had no idea the supplier was screwing us, we are victims as much as you".
