What would you do?

[blindros88]

Today I received a Limited Logos of Eric Lindros from this year's Cup. I noticed right away that the Jersey is an RBK Edge 2.0 style jersey and not one that Lindros would have worn while playing for the Rangers. This is the first card that I have ever had that I knew was flat out incorrect and the jersey was not worn by my player.

If you were in my position what would you? I would love to hear some input on what everyone else would do.

As for my plan of action, I don't think it is fair to ask for a refund from the seller and I certainly do not think it is right to just pass this card off to the next collector. I think the proper thing to do is contact Upper Deck requesting them to correct this as I believe this is their error and they should be held responsible for it. This card was listed within days of release so I don't believe that we have a repatch situation, and there are other copies of this card with the same incorrect jersey style on the market currently.

So, my last question is does anyone have a good contact at Upper Deck? I am not sure sending an email through the general customer service box will see results.

Try contacting through their quality assurance team

I forgot the email but I will edit this post once I have it


When I twitted them about my cup pack, they actually replied with this number
18008737332

I did get through to a rep pretty quick

Good luck

Does the back of the card say game used jersey or does it say photo shoot/event used? If it says game used and you know it wasn't then I would definitely talk to UD since that is a serious mistake on their part, and one that will damage their credibility.

The back does game used memorabilia.

Maybe from the winter classic?

He played for the Flyers during the Winter Classic.

But to answer the question, I would contact UD and see what they have to say about it.

right you are, never even paid attention to the card to be honest to notice who he was pictured with. lol. T

ime to go to bed, been a long day.

That sucks. I wonder what they will say. WHat can they say. They will probably pass the buck and say that it was certified by blah blah and they trusted it.

who actually knows. Thats why i dont get so attached to game used or photo shoot. I know many of you hate photoshoot. Did lindros do anything in ranger uniform even for charity? Does the back say game used or NHL game used.
curious.

hope it works out for you.

Is that even possible at this point?


As to the question, contact and see, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a reasonable answer.

That patch style is consistent with the early 2000's when Lindros was a Ranger so I would say that one is likely legit and worthy of the high selling price. I would hate to see someone pay that much for patches like the one discussed in this thread that are obviously not from the time Lindros played.

 

[blindros88]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have reached out to someone at Upper Deck and I will update what (if anything) comes from this.

I can say this for sure, I will be much more cautious in the future.

This is why I stopped collecting jersey and patch cards. It's hard to trust some of these card companies these days.

It is not like this sorta stuff has not been going on for a while. I am the proud owner of the 2007-08 Upper Deck The Cup Dual Shield 1/1 Khabibulin Samsonov. I bought this card knowing that the piece of jersey on the Khabibulin side was not from Khabibulin and the price I paid for it reflected it.

Some companies may have purchased fraudulent memorabilia in the past. Here is a link to a FBI document that was originally posted on the CCR forum.

So is that from a RBK Edge Tampa jersey even though he played pre-Edge?

 

[djsports]

I am not sure which jersey it is from. It is from a Blue Jersey post lockout because of the new NHL logo. His last playing year in Tampa was 03-04 with the logo that went the other direction from left down to right.

 

[FrozenInferno]

Looks like the post-lockout, pre-Edge style of NHL shield. that would put it either 2005-06 or 2006-07. Khabibulin played for Chicago during that time I believe.

Maybe it is me but I don't mind the card one bit. It doesn't bother me where the jersey came from. I like the card and the look of the card. It's sexy and no one else is going to notice other than to say it is sexy. If it were my home and the builder used particle board instead of a proper storm door, I might get upset. This seems to be a non issue for me but I know I am in the minority when it comes to those thoughts.

 

[SNobles]

You don't care that it isn't actually a GU swatch on the card? Who is to say that anything UD does is legit now?
