2005 Absolute Memorabilia Collector's Thread

I hate the fact that it's hard to trust those cards. I would say t try to find another example of a Cone prime from the set and see if it's number or nameplate. If all other examples are non-logo, I would stay away.

Altered! you can tell in the picture with the major fraying in the patch window. There are sets where fraying happens but with TOTT its very rare if ever. they put these cards togther very well.

I concur with Tony...VERY fake

My latest pickup (/30):

I'm a big fan of the green hat pieces and am thrilled to add this one to my set. I have two extras of this card available for $75 each, which is less than the going rate of the card if anyone's interested.

That's actually pretty awesome. I like this card, probably because I've never seen one like it.
