The careful wording of card companies game used memorabilia...

[AstroJake09]

Hi all,

I recentlly aquired this card with a swatch of jersey and button from Joe Mauer. My question, is that with such vague wording that companies use with memorabilia cards, is how would you interpret the statement on this card? It reads,

"Congratulations. You have received a trading card with Joe Mauer Game-Used baseball memorabilia. The memorbilia has been certified to us as having been used in an offical Major League Baseball game."

By saying that the card contains "Joe Mauer Game-Used baseball memorabilia" makes me more inclined that it was from a jersey worn by Mauer, rather than if it were to say it is just game-used memorabilia on the front. I've added a picture of the back of another card from the same set to illustrate my point about plain "game-used" and no player name attached to the staetment.

I know that the authenticity of these pieces is already controversial but if Upper Deck is telling me the relic is that of Joe Mauer, I feel better.
