This Card Is STILL 100% Fake

I posted earlier this week on the Peterson National Treasures Gold Auto that features an entire swatch with a Vikings head logo. The seller obviously has gotten quite a few emails because he is trying to pass this card off as real

using an article that I FUCKING WROTE for Tuff Stuff. The auction was edited since my first post, and I am pissed that he is using my stuff to try to justify this abomination.

Here is my response.

Per NUMEROUS conversations I have had with ALL THREE FUCKING CARD COMPANIES, Peterson did not, I repeat, did not wear any of the old Vikings throwbacks at the premiere. He may have worn jerseys of other players in the new jersey style, but NO THROWBACKS. Based on that info, there is no possible way a swatch like this could be obtained, because the logo on the current jersey is much, much smaller than this one that covers the whole window.

This guy may not be the faker himself, but the card he is selling is fake. Next time he should maybe use proof from someone who isnt calling him out in the fucking first place.

I remember back two or three years ago when collectors would go after the Fabric of the Game cards like they made your dick longer or something. They were some of the best cards from the non grilled sandwich version of Donruss, and even I thought they deserved a place in my collection.

When I first saw this year’s edtion of the set I had my doubts about how the final product would turn out. Now that I have stumbled across a few more previews of the cards, my doubts have turned into full on loathing.

You see, instead of going with cards that actually look good, Donini has decided that busy and distracting designs are better than the simplicity of the past. Seems to be a pretty common thing these days, as just about every preview they put out burn my eyes into submission.

Here is what I mean:

Does anyone know where to look? These cards are so ridiculous that I am actually having a hard time finding the players at first glance. What happened to cards like this instead?

So much better.

The problem is that Donini has taken a set that many collect and shot it Plax-style in its leg. Even the swatches on the new cards look fucking gross to the point where I actually have to run my finger over the screen to follow the design. Its almost busy enough to cause seizures like the Pokemon cartoons. Then I saw this:

Im guessing that the card design team was going for a 2009 Donruss Threads: Empire Strikes Back type of feel to it. Im serious, these are fucking awful beyond all rational thought. Which executive would actually look at a set based on that design and say, “YES! Do it! Do it!”?

Maybe the same guy who thought this card was a good idea:

I dont know what it is anymore, its almost like people are too stupid to realize how bad its really gotten. Maybe once Donini actually realizes that this is the worst year of DLP products, ever, things can heal. Its unfortunate to say that for the first time, im actually scared for national treasures. Yeah, its gotten to that point now.
