I hope there isn't a batch of fake UDA holograms going around. I thought they were tamper-proof too.

I have seen similar anecdotes elsewhere regarding those checking up on UDA serial numbers.
One would logically conclude that either a) data was lost and Upper deck simply cannot verify serial numbers prior to a certain date, or b) counterfeit holograms exist in certain number ranges.
Given the cloak and dagger, legally restrained response Upper Deck gives, one would tend to think the latter choice makes more sense. If it was a simple matter of data loss through corrupted files or something similar, why not just say it?
