PSA Game Worn Cards (Double Take / Spit Take / What?) and Poll

I smell a rat. The majority of "game worn" cards contain patches of jersey's used during warm up or in the locker room prior. "Event worn" is even worse, as the player will quite literally have boxes of hundreds of jerseys at events like the NFL Rookie Premier and spend an hour just putting them on and tearing them off. They are worn for literally a second.

I think these at best are just from warmup and more likely stuck in a pocket in the locker room for a minute.

The PSA release basically makes a point of saying how rough the condition of the cards are, because of "Game Use".

The Corbin Carroll listing actually says they were tucked in his back pocket with a stick of gum, during the game.

Whether this is accurate or not...I am not prepared to say, even though I have not signed an NDA.
