I've seen those too and thought to myself that can't possibly be authenticate. I wouldn't think a popular costume would get cut up for those cards. Wouldn't the movie company save it for the sequel or even to auction off?
For a movie? Depends on the movie, the production company and the costume shop. Angels (in London) never tosses anything, which is why British productions always have fabulous costumes, and why there was that killer costume auction a few months ago where Sir Alec Guinness' "Obi Wan" robes sold. Other shops have regular auctions and sales, and if you're in the right place at the right time, you can get some of this stuff cheap.
It's most likely scamtastic. Is there any way to check out the certification authority?
If I saw these at a convention from a reliable dealer of collectibles, I'd ask them what verification they've done. On eBay? Wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole. It might be a bolt end from a costume shop, or it might be something that was at Hancocks that looked close to what was on film.
