Question about GU cards

[jiggidy]

I am fairly new to the football side of card collecting. I only bought a few packs last year with a few hits. I am planning on getting more involved on the football side this year. From looking at cards on eBay a question popped into my head. I am looking at all of the GU/Patch cards and they all look clean. I know a lot of the GU pieces are manufactured but how come none of the "actual" gu pieces do not have grass/dirt stains on them?

I think it would be kind of cool to bust open a pack and have a GU piece with a grass stain on it.

some jersey cards have stains-just remember that one game used jersey is cut into hundreds of pieces so more of the pieces are likely to be stain free than not

Also, some are "event" worn, meaning they put it on, and took it right off. They may have worn it while sitting and signing autos and not actually in a game.
