During that timeframe, they've gone from being high-demand items to, often, inserts that are merely tossed aside.

Although the proliferation of memorabilia cards has played a big part in their depreciation, there's another reason that's contributing as well. It can be blamed on the increasing vagueness of the legalese on the cards themselves. Just a few years ago, there was not much ambiguity in the legalese. Take, for example, the back of the Upper Deck Steve Nash patch card:. Legalese translation — There is very little to translate here. Steve Nash wore the jersey in an actual NBA game from which the swatch was cut.

While you can't pinpoint the game or the season but you still know it was game-used. But as time moved on, the legalese morphed into disclaimers. Legalese translation — Although the disclaimer is from the same company as the Nash card, this one is murkier.

The autograph certification is pretty good—either the player or his representative vouched for it. The game-used memorabilia is less clear. It's from a USA Baseball game, but that's really all you can take away from it. You have no idea what game it was worn in, or what year. In fact, there's no guarantee that the patch was part of Wojciechowski's uniform or if it belonged to someone else.

And I used the word uniform intentionally because there is no guarantee this is even a swatch from a jersey. Heck, as vague as the disclaimer sounds, it could be from a sock for all we know. And really, a close reading makes it worse. Upper Deck isn't certifying that the memorabilia is authentic.

Upper Deck is saying an unnamed individual certified to Upper Deck that this memorabilia is what they say it is. There's a rule in court that hearsay is inadmissible, which basically means a witness cannot testify to something someone else told him.

This card does not pass the hearsay test:. And that's why hearsay, normally, is inadmissible. But apparently, it's good enough for memorabilia cards. Now, I'm not saying this card is not a swatch of Wojciechowski's jersey. It very well could be. But Upper Deck by no means establishes that fact with its choice of legalese.

A recent Topps card exemplifies how far card companies have strayed from using legalese on the back of their cards and into the land of disclaimers:. The relic on this card is not from any specific game, event or season. Legal translation — I mean, first things first: you can tell the disclaimer is going to be good just by how small it is in comparison to the rest of the text. This text is miniscule. Turning to the actual disclaimer, what the heck is this patch?

It's not from any specific game, event or season? Using our proprietary technology; We assign each sale to a Card, toss the junk, and record the grade of each sale.
