Remember I posted yesterday regarding the Fake Bergeron EYE patch?
http://www.hobbyinsider.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52659
I wrote to Chris Carlin regarding some replacements and the Bergeron SPA FW patches in question(I sent him both scans) Here is his response:
"With regard to your query on the patches, here's the response from our hockey team:
The two cards in question I believe have been augmented and let me tell
you why. I have enclosed a photo of the Bruins 3rd jersey and you can
plainly see that the two "augmented cards" have a piece of either eye on
the card, meaning those two "fake eye patches" are definitely from the
Bruins 3rd jersey. The problem is we have never had a 3rd jersey for
Patrice Bergeron only a home and away jersey, white and black
respectively. Meaning someone bought the 3rd jersey or just the big
patch from it and cut out each eye piece and placed it onto each card to
resell at a high value. The collector did a good job to realize this
and he should know that his card is good and the other two are fakes.
Tell him we only used the shoulder patch of the "bear" on the home and
away jerseys and we never used the big bear patch from a 3rd jersey for
him. So he will know to stay away from those fakes and that the card he
has is the only type of "eye patch" we would of used for Mr. Bergeron.
I hope that helps."

Now what is the next step? Should I email ebay to stop this auction? How do I go about this? Has anybody done this before? I want to bust this guy! That's one more win for the good guys
We should form a squad here at HI.. Vegas, Jaywings, and all the rest of the Patch Guys.. We'll call ourselves the "Patch Squad".. Just thought you'd guys like to know!
