Idea to stop patch/swatch faking

[centrehice]

Just stop making useless cards with fabric on them.

bring back old school collecting ! :) 5-6 sets per year, rookies, inserts. No parallels, no memorabilia. Why not decoys with redemptions for the full jersey (instead of cutting the memorabilia) ! :) Bring back cheap packs, gums, errors cards, fade colors, etc lol

Hey, as long as they've got Mask cards, there could be only one annual set for all I care. The passion in collecting is much more essential than the sheer quantity of products.

I think many collectors feel the same way. Before I started collecting Masks I was a Kolzig collector, and sometimes it really annoyed me that I couldn't collect all of his cards, sometimes because of the price and sometimes because of the amount. I'm happy as a Mask collector because there are a lot of them but not too many per-se.

Quality over quantity. Always, eh?

Wait, you want companies to deliberately create error cards? Haha. I don't think they'll agree to that, but you can always try, LOL.

I think the high end cards (Cup etc.) and any short printed cards (under 10 ish) should have a picture data base and go from there. obviously there isnt much of a reason to have every white swatched jersey online but I guess thats what people tamper to make them worth more. Technology now should allow them photo all when they come off the line by serial number.

bingo. if you're charging 600 bucks a pack, you can hire someone to take pics of them

I have no idea why they can't design a card in such a way to make it impossible to remove a swatch without destroying the card. This way you wouldn't need any verifications or photo uploads... you just trust if a card isn't destroyed then its legit!
