Patch Colour Tracker - how good is this ?

Just posted up some details of a new release by Futera - 2012 Unique

http://www.ozcardtrader.com.au/community/threads/new-release-futera-unique-2012.114289/

And Futera have serial numbered all of their jersey/patch cards AND every one of the 5,000 Memorabilia Jersey Card colour codes was registered and checked off by a Futera Director.

They call it a Colour Grading Chart and a lot of work, but now fake patches will be non existant or easily identifiable at least in this release.

Maybe this is something that Panini can pick up and do also ?

Would be awesome if they would do it, but will they? who knows.

I have no idea what the soccer card release schedule is like, but would it be more feasable for them to impliment this initiative than Panini would with their NBA release? The reason I ask is, during a regular season, Panini have a dozens of releases that would exquate to 10's of thousands of patchs card, so I would surmise it would make the task of catalouging all the cards pretty immense.

Panini has a dye on the cards, you send it in and they can check if its real or not. Was reading about it a while ago.

That's pretty cool! Still waiting on somebody to do up a "patch registry" or something where all you do is type in the serial number of the card and it shows you the patch that was on it.
