Take a look at this Vettel card:

I own some actual race-worn memorabilia with that same little gold tag. That gold tag does not come on generic, random memorabilia that isn't race worn.

The reason I asked the original question is because I read somewhere that Topps recently released an article confirming that the relics are indeed race worn. But I have not seen and cannot find that article.
