Frequently Asked Question How do I know that the piece is authentic? Here at Upper Deck, we have a strict policy in purchasing game used equipment. Our sources for purchasing these items will either be directly from the player, directly from the team or from secondary market vendor that has a reputation for having authentic game used equipment. Each game used item that we purchase from these sources comes with a Certificate of Authenticity to ensure 100% authenticity for that item.
Most items used are game worn, while some are from practice or from league sponsored photo shoots. The authentication copy printed on the back of the card should indicate the nature of the item used on the front.

Glossary Term Condition - Trading cards (even cards taken directly from factory sealed products) have a wide range of condition types depending on several factors like card being centered, crisp and sharp edges, no print spots, perfect gloss, and no surface flaws.
Conditions range from Poor (the lowest) to Pristine (the best). Several categories in between from Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent, Excellent-Mint, Near Mint, Near Mint-Mint, Mint, and Gem Mint complete the entire realm of possible conditions for a card.
