Hi, i dont buy many modern autographed cards so I'm not very familiar with holograms certs on back of cards. There is a Wayne Gretzky card I have interest in that has a hologram with example BAG12345 as the 1st 3 letters followed by 5 numbers. Is this an Upper Deck Authentic hologram? Or something else? Any help greatly appreciated.

my 1996 Penny Hardaway SPx (upper deck) auto has a hologram sticker beginning with BADXXXXX, so im going to assume this is similar to what you're talking about. yes, these are upper deck authentication stickers that came on factory autographed cards, similar to the Topps squircle ones back in the early 2000's.

Thank you very much!
@dtmodel Upper Deck Authenticated has an 800 service center telephone number that you can call and tell them the number on the item. They can confirm the item to be authentic for you on the call. And this is true for both their issued items, or items that they authenticated in person. I used it recently and they were very helpful.
Live long, and prosper.
Gretzky is upper deck exclusive for the past 15 years or so. Before that he would do private signings through WGA.
It’s much smarter to get Upper Deck signed cards then TPG authenticated ones. Unless that slabbed card’s seller is offering the WGA certificate along with the encapsulated card.
Thank you all for your help!
