I still didnt get my card I didnt get a free becky card either I'm still waiting on my free Alexa Bliss Kiss card. In other news, I found a lot of Divas Revolution unopened boxes on eBay. 12 Boxes for $205 is what I paid. Ended up getting maybe 5 decent hits. 1) Alexa Bliss Shirt Relic 2) Becky Lynch Shirt Relic (2 colors and pattern) 3) Banks Shirt Relic 4) Summer Rae Shirt Relic 5) Beth Phoenix Autograph I did get a 5/10 Asuka (or something out of 10) Mat relic and a something out of 99 Asuka mat relic. Two different images. Thought it was pretty cool. Rest were just mat relics from NXT and Mania. My wants were anything Bliss and anything Becky. I was hoping for kiss cards or shirt relics as opposed to autographs. Glad I got them. (At this point, I've always been under the assumption that shirt relics were event worn. Can someone confirm this for me?)

Unless the card says event worn shirt relic, I would not assume that it is. I know some cards used to say that. But I'm pretty sure no WWE cards say that now. Which is why I've cooled on relics all together. I'm assuming now they just ask the wrestler for a shirt and they get what they get. Could maybe be event worn but maybe not.

I would hope to God that the relics are worn. It'd be a crime for them to just pull a shirt off a merch table and cut it up to throw into cards...

I spoke to a Topps Rep just now and painstakingly went through the details: This is a quote: "Even though it does not state on the card event worn, all of the cards in the sets we've discussed (Topps WWE Undisputed; Topps WWE Divas Revolution) were worn by the athlete at some point. It may not be from a particular event but they were worn. In some instances they were worn in house shows or backstage. We just don't put the dates they were worn." So they are worn.

If it was event worn they would put event worn on the card. If they're not, there's a reason they're not. And that reason is probably because they're not staking their reputation on the fact that all of the relics are actually event worn. Which is sad.
EDIT!!!! I just saw the last post. Disregard by assumptions lol.
This Panini vid is from 2012 but it's kind of cool to see the process of making relic cards.

Ok ok ok ok ok. The more I think about this, the more it doesn't exactly make me feel any better. They ask the wrestlers for a worn shirt. The wrestler provides some RANDO shirt from who the hell knows what. Maybe it was worn backstage. Who's to say? Can't prove otherwise, so maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I don't like this at all. No I don't.
Bottom line: Topps isn't making any claims on the cards for a reason.

Bottom line: Topps isn't making any claims on the cards for a reason. Im on the fence now. Part of me fees good that at least they get the shirt from the wrestler. But part of me thinks what if they just hand them an extra shirt they traveled with but never wore? I'm glad the only Shirt relics I have are from pulled packages at this point. This is kind of nuts I'm not saying I have to have a worn shirt. I'm just saying I feel bad for people paying hundreds for these cards and it not really being worn or guaranteed to be worn. I mean I do accept the answer Topps gave. That they were worn at some point. But it's kind of just a good faith assumption.

Agreed. I think the onus is on the wrestler. When they sign the contract with Topps, they probably agree to provide worn shirts. If that's the case, Topps is probably just assuming they are honoring the contract. It is reassuring to know that on some level the relics were more than likely worn at some point. I appreciate you making that call.

The worst are the mat relics. Like they change the mats after every match and like really this little piece is from that match?

To be fair though, they're not going to tell you that the shirt is either fake or they have absolutely no way of proving it ever came into contact with the wrestler aside from them touching it to hand it over to someone else. I will always assume unless it can proven without a doubt otherwise, (and really, it can't), that whatever piece is in the card is not real, and has not been worn by anyone, ever. This has been a longstanding issue with relics cards. It's the only way to not be disappointed and to keep yourself from spending too much on these cards. Just think of the fabric as part of the design of the card.

Went to target just now to get some food for the week and they had a heritage box. 46 out of the 48 packs were there. Wonder when the person got the two relic packs. And wonder what they were.

Picked this up from Smackdown tonight. Wow, that's actually pretty awesome. Are those 8x10? I hate how most show autos are 11x14. And how much? $20?
