UPPER DECK Authenticator Company CREDIBILITY..?
I have had several Cards GU Jersey's recently From Upper Deck in which I really have questioned, becuase of dates and when they say have have been worn etc, Ignored the first 2-3 or even 4 that I came across.
I have been a Big Upper Deck fan and Customer for a long time.
But I just acquired this card here, and It is Quite Obvious that this Dual Player card Houses the same exact Jersey for both players, Obvious a Kevin Durant Supersonic RC Jersey, Lamarcus Aldridge Never played for Seattle or anyone for that matter who has a Green Jersey.
How would one or Upper Deck explain this and other questionable cards like this, the others, they could maybe come up with excuses for for veteran player cards, but How Do you EXPLAIN This...!??
I am starting to Wonder about this....

Hmm.. That is weird... I myself often question the authenticity of gu cards... I almost don't even like them anymore... At least a sweet insert is a real card and there is no worries about them.

Game used cards have become more and more useless and worthless. In a large extend to the mass production (which would lend itself to errors, eg:if you make a million cards you are prone to make a mistake on at least ten).
Secondly to a lesser extent, authenticity of GU cards have been going downhill since the early 2000's. The back COA used to say something like "the jersey piece in front is guaranteed to have been worn by Allen Iverson at a NBA game" then it slowly evolved to this jersey piece is guaranteed to have been worn at a NBA game, so really things become more and more sketchy.

Yea, but this one Says Worn By Lamarcus Aldridge in an NBA Game, and Kevin Durant as a Seattle Supersonic in an NBA Game.
It is not possible to find Lamarcus Aldridge Wearing a Green Jersey at anytime, let alone a Supersonic Jersey.

I am a little let down by this, becuase I've been collecting GU and Autos alot over the past couple years, Really liking them and the idea, thinking they were pretty legit, but now I am really wondering.
I am not sure if this is a mistake or what, but it also seems like the MAterials did not match up in the past as well on some cards.
Upper Deck is pretty reputable, and has been for some time, so I dont know if they would purposely ruin their image with a 5$ Card.

What I am worried About are My Jordan's, the ones that I pay big bucks for. Jordan Has been gone a long time, and he has been the centerpiece of basically every UD product since the 1990's and they are still doing Jordan Jerseys.

Ya that gets me wondering as well. and with the legends. and old school stuff in baseball like Babe Ruth... I know his jerseys are out there but who would want to cut them up?? and same with the All-Star and Finals gu cards.. Dont you think most players would wanna keep their All-Star jerseys for themselves as a personal keep sake?? It doesnt make alot of sense to me at times.

Oh and another thing is patches.. You see patches of guys like magic johnson and wilt or other old time players... And at least what ive noticed sparingly is if you watch games from back in the late 80's early 90's it seems they didnt have patches on the jerseys and the numbering and logos were more screen print looking.. So idk bout those either
