Hi all -
Given all the discourse regarding cards with game used memorabilia (especially in light of rampant patch faking, topps mixing up 2012 TTT laundry tags, etc.), I got to thinking, are there ANY game used sets that still maintain their integrity and are worth pursuing?
I know that in recent years, card companies have been consistently using the vague legalese i.e. "the relics contained in this card are not from any specific game, event or season" and it's rare to find the source of the relic, such as a photo, on the card back, anymore. I know this used to be done - 2002 Fabric of the Game comes to mind. In my mind, this would make these cards and sets more desirable.
In another thread, somebody mentioned the Great American Treasures set from 2001 Leaf Rookie and Stars.
Alot of people are plainly against game used, and that is fine. I am well aware of some of the key argument points. However, I would like to know more about "good" game used sets, so would prefer people respond with any suggestions, opinions, photos of cards/sets that may fall under this category. Thx.
