Here is another one praising Panini. Sure seems that Panini is faking these responses. I still see my response calling Panini out is still showing waiting moderation.

Panini’s honesty and detailed research into this matter is commendable. I respect and trust those who tell me they made a mistake and will make sure it doesn’t happen again. While this will result in a lot of negative talk from a vocal few, there is much good that will result in the future. Having truly “Game Used” material cards is far better than just labeling everything as “Player Worn.” And, having a process which guarantees the Jersey Cards are accurately identified is important to the hobby.
I am sure that Panini has/can fix them problem. If I may suggest, when the new process is finalized, it may be best to be totally transparent with collectors on how the improved process works. Even before this situation, there has been a significant number of skeptics with regards to the authenticity of “Game Used” memorabilia throughout the hobby. A tab on your website with a video of the process would help to convince the most paranoid skeptics.
While this situation may be embarrassing, my trust and respect for Panini America has grown. I look forward to doing business with Panini America for a long time.
