Every Backstage Autograph Session card (V1.0, V2.0 & V3.0) that I have handed out as prize support over to years is 100% authentic. I sat with damn near every single talent that has ever been so kind to sign these cards for the Raw Deal community. I sat there and almost every single time had to explain it didn’t matter that it had Mickie James’ or Scott Hall’s image on it, it was for a game and that the text on it was important to the players who got these fun cards (I didn’t have these kinds of questions with the V3.0 cards as they were specifically designed to not include a Superstars image on it AND to keep it a bit more difficult for others to make their own).
Recent false accusations by a bitter minority who didn’t like the fact that we monetized a pro printing service (and was appropriately given a C & D for by the co-creator of the game, to which we immediately fulfilled his request well within the timeframe given - and have never printed a card or had an issue with him since), have now tried to question the authenticity of BAS cards. While there are a small group of talent we never got to sign cards (Ric Flair, DDP, Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase and a couple others notable names) and cannot guarantee their authenticity, all others have been handled by us, personally, with each talent.
Basically, what I’m saying is those people who want to try and start lies, can go f**k themselves. Point blank. Plain and simple. Don’t care. They weren’t there in the room or on the convention floor with us when we worked with these amazing names, so their credibility means about, well, less than .02¢.
You can call this poor customer service, but we don’t service these specific individuals any ways. Our customers have always been our biggest supporters and we have alway done the best that we can to help them. If we offended you, we’re sorry. But we’re betting that the only ones who are offended are the ones who didn’t give a s**t about VelaCards to begin with, so nothing lost.
It’s just incredible that these people have to hold onto whatever grievances they have had with us over the last 2-4 years (or more, who knows). Grow up. Live a healthy life. Take care of your family. Shop somewhere else for your Raw Deal cards. But don’t ruin things for others who’ve been good people and have enjoyed the game after all these years.
Have fun, players. Don’t let these bitter individuals spoil your fun. 😎
