DJI think the percentage of "suspect" signed Upper Deck cards are rather low, probably a couple of percentages in comparison to all that is out there.
The truth of the matter is that even the best auction houses and/or authenticators have an error rate. I remember reading somewhere that Spence says his error rate is 5% and if you line up 100 Upper Deck cards, you may find a couple bad ones in the bunch.
In saying this, it is rather disurbing though as I seriously doubt any of the "sources" listed on the back of the card would distribute this kind of "obvious crud" as they most certainly know better. UD got sloppy and lazy, maybe saved a couple bucks and now they are paying for it with bad press and many doubters.
