Most of their jersey materials are harvested at events like rookie photo shoots, etc.. At such events players often change their shirts, dozens and dozens of times, to generate event worn uniform material that never sees the field of play.

Did I not say that?
Getting back to the CJ thing. I know for a fact that he did not spend any time looking through the tables and that he doesnt care, he got paid to be there and thats all that matters. But on his way to his booth/table where people lined up to obtain autos, pictures etc, you dont think he passed by some of the dealers tables?
The players would be owed money because these card companies are taking a piece of a jersey, placing it into a card, creating a COA with each individual player name inserted and selling it. Lets take a base card. Its valued at $2.00, insert a RPM event worn jersey from 2008 that CJ wore at the shoot and now that base card is worth $25.00 as a jersey card. They just made $23.00 on the fact alone that a piece of a jersey that CJ wore has been inserted and authenticated by the company and essentially CJ. That would be fraud and the players could sue the company.
If these players are unaware that this is being done, you dont think they would care? The card company is making money off of their name, and good amounts of it too! Its all about the money for them. Thats why they would be owed money.
So I can go to the store. Buy 10 authentic stitched jerseys, sell them as being worn by that player, the player finds out Im doing this and he is not going to care? And if you dont think they know about this then youre fooling yourself. A few weeks ago CM3 was posting fake autographed jersey links on his twitter, and stating that these jersey's are fake, I never signed them.
About Favre, I did not know this. He autographed fake equipment and sold them himself? But his authentic autograph was on the stuff???
Im not saying that fake patched dont exist, they do. And I am well aware of UD and the amount of trouble they have been in. Just search youtube, theres a good video about it. But to say all GU cards are fake is stretching it I think
