Back in the 90's, Mickey Mantle was a guest at the Tuff-Stuff show (I miss those shows) in Richmond, Virginia. Upper Deck was authenticating each item signed for the unheard of price of "free". A few years ago, I plugged the authentication number in the UD database and the item was not found. So, I emailed UD and they informed me that items before 2002 are will not be found in the online database. What they needed to verify the verification!
"Hello,
In order to verify the authenticity of an item, we need the following three things.
1) Hologram Number
2) Description of the Item
3) Name of athlete who signed the item.
Without all three of these, we are unable to verify the item’s authenticity.
Regards,"
