    An HI member, gomaz, went to UD, photographed every card from the Cup, uploaded/cropped them, and made a blog for people to reference their cards to see if they match up.

    Well where is the blog? What is the site? I have been trying to find something like that for a while now lol

    Unfortunately the Cup database from 08/09 is not public, yet. They are Jeremy's photos and I'm sure it would take him hundreds of hours to sort and catalog the images. He has confirmed several fakes, including this one I asked about about a month back, which I had my reasons to question. He was nice enough to go through his images and luckily found out the patch was likely fake before I paid for it. However I agree with Joel, that in most cases these threads are not necessary.

    Jeremy is a busy dude and probably doesn't have the hundreds of hours to crop, sort, and host them all. I believe he also wanted to have it in a system where you could verify the authenticity of the card, rather than having one huge database of images. If there was a massive archive, stealing images could be an issue, as could the sale prices of individual cards because you could know what every patch of every card looked like and determine which was the "better" patch.

    He paid from is pocket to get to UD, took pictures for a few days at is own expense.I think he is a lawyer so he must not have 100`s of hours in a week to sort out 25,000 pictures.

    He nice enough to check on some inquiries that are legitimate, if it wasent from him we would have no clue whatsoever like previous release.
