The language guaranteeing the authenticity of the relics used in cards from Topps has gotten more and more vague over the past few years. It has now come to a point where they no longer even include in the language that the relic was even used by the player depicted. As you can see from the image, all it says is that the relic is Authentic Memorabilia with no mention of any other sort of authenticity on the back of the card. Well, the t-shirts and jerseys we can buy from any store is considered authentic memorabilia as they are licensed by MLB Properties. As a consumer of Topps products, we have a right to know what we are purchasing from them. Anything less than full transparency is a disservice to the collecting community that they claim to serve and a violation to our consumer rights. Please join me in signing this petition, which will be sent to Topps once we've reached 1,000 signatures and resent every 1,000 signatures.
