Upper Deck really screwed up this time

[Autismic]

The new Redemptions that are coming out only have a thin layer covering the actual code and you can see the code without having to scratch.

This is going to cause some major problems.

Check this one out

And the herd heads towards Photobucket

Is that your item? If so gl...I certainly can't make out the code.

 

[bigpapiMA32]

I am not going to do it because I'm not a dick, but it looks pretty easy to read if you mess with it a little.

Any reason you were searching for a wooly mammoth femur? Haha JW.

 

[Jurgy25]

Wow nice catch, that does suck.
I can faintly make out most of the letter/number combo, so with time would be pretty easy to get a Woolley Mamotth (SP) Femur. (Unless it has been redeemed which would not surprise me.)

Buyer is going to receive it, then try to redeem, and find out it has already been redeemed. Then he is going to file complaint saying seller sold him a card that he already redeemed (which may or may not be true.) THEN seller is going to say "I didn't redeem it you are just trying to scam me." and then there's going to be a big problem. Wouldn't want to deal with that one.

This happened back in 2001 and 2002. Most of the early Tiger Woods reemptions were on cards where
you could see through them and read the code without scratching it. UD is really in free fall.

Maybe, he just has a REALLY GOOD scanner.

Even playing with it you still can't make it out. Hopefully its just his scanner.

looks clear to me other then the O's and G's are a little hard to tell. This is what i got from that.

Agreed, not to mention you could blow it up. This is going to be a major chaos...

 

[AKA Coastal]

Yea, I can make it out now since I've got a pot of coffee in me.

 

[thehamiltonian]

All of the redemptions I have seen from Champ's are like that. I have one sitting on my desk that I can read quite easily through the paint. Most people are scanning just the top parts of the redemption cards now, but yeah - some people are likely going to get hosed.

 

[arod305]

Whats UD's legislation system on these? Do they even cared if some Joe steals the code and doesnt own the card?

 

[sportscardtheory]

I'm sorry, but the seller is partially at fault here. If it is visible at all, don't post a scan/full scan of it.

 

[Pine Tar]

even if you can't see it I put a small piece of paper over the area
that has the code on it.

 

[blanning71]

Man O Man. I hope that UD would help honor some of these cards that were "pre-redeemed". I wonder how many people have seen that auction and have gone and tried to redeem it?

 

[smapdi]

According to the question posted in the auction, it looks like the seller redeemed it already and will ship the actual card to the winner once he gets it.

 

[cstmleather]

Looks like it was taken with a camera. Scan would be a lot brighter.

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

Well I figured out the code pretty easily.Hopefully they aren't all like this.

 

[allstars]

I can't believe they made that product & couldn't put a piece of bone in there for packout. I wonder if they are out in New Mexico digging up fossils...

One explanation I heard was that they were worried they would get crushed. I'm not sure if that's true (it seems like a lot of attention to detail by a company that has major QC issues), but it seems like a likely explanation.
