Just when I started thinking maybe Upper Deck will have enough sense to stay on the straight and narrow now that someone else is in charge (even if McWilliam is not dead, he's not in charge of UD anymore) I'm proved VERY WRONG! But it's nice knowing (as terminally sick as I am) I'm one of the very few collectors who discovered the complete TRUTH about these worthless Brand New COLLEGE jersey swatches and patches of players like: Barry Sanders, John Elway, Bo Jackson, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Jerome Bettis, etc. on this fairly newly released "2013" UD Ultimate product. The majority of these cards seem to have been showing up on eBay in the last month or so only. Granted I'm not on eBay as a member at all (for a few months now), but I still search for new products weekly to follow what's going on in the hobby and what items sell for. These "memorabilia" cards (as Upper Deck calls them!) from 2013 Ultimate Football sell for OUTRAGIOUS prices like a Barry Sanders dual college Patch card /60 that sold today for $41.98 <<<< click to see the listing. THAT'S WHAT REAL GAME-USED BARRY SANDERS COLLEGE PATCH CARDS SHOULD SELL FOR!!! The seller of that card has the largest selection of these WORTHLESS "memorabilia" cards on eBay right now. Boy, he must be pissed off! Even thought the autographs are ON CARD, that doesn't make up for all the pissed off collectors there will be once they read the fine print on the card backs and realize what it means.

These "memorabilia" cards read exactly this:

"CONGRATULATIONS! You have received a trading card with (player names) Player Worn Football Memorabilia. The jerseys were worn by the athletes for Upper Deck."

This means they are BRAND NEW STORE BOUGHT JERSEYS, NEVER USED IN ANY GAME OR AT ANY EVENT! That means they are not memorabilia in any definition ever used in the history of this hobby (or on Webster.com) before! UPPER DECK DECEIVED US AGAIN AND ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH IT UNTIL I GOT INVOLVED!

Here is the Webster.com definition of the word "Memorabilia" (please take into consideration that they know nothing about our hobby!):

"mem·o·ra·bil·ia noun plural \ˌme-mə-rə-ˈbi-lē-ə, -ˈbē-lē-ə, -ˈbil-yə\ 
: objects or materials that are collected because they are related to a
particular event, person, etc. : things collected as souvenirs

Full Definition of MEMORABILIA

1:  things that are remarkable and worthy of remembrance

2:  things that stir recollection or are valued or collected for their
association with a particular field or interest :  mementos <baseball
memorabilia> "

These 2013 UD Ultimate Memorabilia cards do not fall into ANY of the definitions of memorabilia by a book that has nothing to do with our hobby! So how can people IN OUR HOBBY call these memorabilia cards (like Upper Deck itself did???)! They LIED to sell a product regardless of the future repercussions by collectors because from what I've recently heard: Upper Deck is in the middle of selling their company!!! So why would they care if they screwed the hobby with one of their last BIG products when they don't have to deal with the fallback from LYING? Jason Masherah (current President of Upper Deck) will certainly be gone when new owners take over so why would he care? When card company's are facing bankruptcy or are in the middle of selling the company (which can easily take a year or more with all the legal paperwork, etc.) the company could basically pull whatever fraud they 3want because they know that the responsible parties will only have to hear complaints for a very limited period of time. plus they surround themselves with lower employees that take the direct heat from direct buy dealers and collectors. So the Executives don't care at all. This is what I believe happened with these USELESS "memorabilia" college jersey cards Upper Deck has been releasing for several years now.

 

This explains why eBay sellers are dumping these Upper Deck college jersey "Memorabilia" cards & patches in HUGE NUMBERS lately because they realized that they are worthless junk, but they'd NEVER admit that they knew this. I asked several eBay large sports card sellers if these are "game-used" college jerseys and several said "YES THEY ARE." So they arte willing to outright lie to make what money back they can on cards that they now know are worthless.

 

EVERY COLLECTOR WHO BOUGHT ANY COLLEGE JERSEY/PATCH CARDS FROM UPPER DECK PRODUCTS MADE SINCE 2010 NEED TO ASK THEIR SELLERS IF THESE ARE "Game-Used" COLLEG JERSEY SWATCHES!

If your seller replies "yes" when the backs of the cards do not specify, or say what 2013 Ultimate says: player worn for Upper Deck, you need to let the seller know that you now know that these are NOT game-used or event-used so they are worthless. Then ask what the seller is willing to do about this. If they say anything other than "send it back for a full refund including return shipping." You need to report the seller to eBay.  

 

Now everyone has to ask themselves: ARE ANY UPPER DECK FOOTBALL CARDS I OWN SINCE 2010 MADE WITH COLLEGE JERSEY/PATCH SWATCHES ALL FAKE AS WELL?  

 

I never saw these cards until a couple of months ago. Yet release dates are stated as October to December 2013??? Was this just another product delayed forever so that they could get as many autographs in the product as possible without too many redemption cards?  Especially after seeing what redemption cards did to Topps! THEY NEARLY BANKRUPTED THEM THANKS TO MICHAEL EISNER (Corporate Asshole)!!!

This $63.00 or so "box" has one pack with four cards inside: one autograph card, one jersey/patch card, one RC #'ed to 199 or less, and one base card. Since the "memorabilia" cards are NOT memorabilia in any sense of the word: the people that bought cases of this product were ripped off something awful!!! The bad players on the checklist for autographs and jersey/patch cards includes a ton of worthless (but 2013 fairly highly touted) 2013 rookies like Terrence Williams, Matt Barkley, Robert Woods, Stedman Bailey, Landry Jones, Manti Te'o, and a long list of unproven "star" rookies like Geno Smith, Tavon Austin, Mike Glennon, etc.

"Memorabilia Cards" and "Autographed Memorabilia Cards" are the exact terms Upper Deck, and Dave & Adam's Card World used for these worthless jerseys they used for this product.. On eBay "Piece Of Authentic" is chosen in the Card Attributes area on most of these cards sold by eBay sellers which is WRONG and unscrupulous. But most of us know that most of the card sellers left on eBay would sell their own mothers for $10.00, so we can't expect much of them.

If you buy these cards, buy them ONLY for the ON CARD autographs. If you pay a penny more because it has a FAKE WORTHLESS JERSEY OR PATCH (or dual of either) on it- then that stupidity is on you.
