I'm not a GU collector; owning a few of those cards is as far as I've ever gone in that field. However, I can't help but wonder where the stuff's coming from, especially with the stories you hear about Halper and others.

In a way, I'd be comforted if a large percentage turned out to be fakes; at least that'd mean fewer baseball relics had been destroyed...

I've seen a few errors, bat bits in a uniform card, a color of uniform cloth that the player never wore.

With all their scandals I'm amazed Upper deck is still around.
Reprinting their own cards for executives 92? High number hockey?

Fake Yugio (Sp?) cards sold to Treat

I saw a show some time ago that showed them making some memorabilia cards. The ones shown were modern stuff, footballs from a superbowl, some average players uniform that looked barely worn.... The tour of the "secure" storage cage for the items they'd bought to use was agonizing though. So much nice stuff destined to be wrecked, and not all of it sports. All tagged with what it was, but just stacked on shelves or the floor of a metal wire room.
