Real? Fake? I'm not really familiar with the set.

If that's real...that's gonna look good on my bookcase

There is some damage to the window right in the middle bottom of it. Take another look, that is a sweet patch, but most were not THAT sweet...numbered that high.

Just to be safe, I think the best thing to do is stay away from it. I dont like specualting on something unless I absolutely know or have good reason. Also there are legit sick logo patches out of the set which make it tough spoting whats real and what isnt unless it blantenly obvious or you know the seller has a history of only selling fakes. I think the time to buy Nice logo patches is right when a product goes live as I would say 99% of the time if its listed as a nice patch it more than likely is real. Its when you give patch alterers time to do their work that you should be concerned. This set has been out for sometime and I myself am very weary of any new Logo patches that pop up and I will more than likely stay away from them unless I know it was pulled or someone can 100% legitimately vouch for it. Also you could ask a couple of questions to the seller to see where he got it? Ifs its altered most of the time you will get a shady answer and then its obvious what was done to the card. If you really want to take a chance on it ask the seller if he will accept refunds and if so Buy it and do a thorough inspection of it. Look for stuff that might not be in the Photo like lifting on the window or Spliting or Glue residue on the outside of the window, Ect. Ect. and if you feel good about it keep it if you are still unsure then send it back. I picked up most of my logo patches when Ultimate went live. Most of them I bought from Board members who pulled them, On one of them I even have a u-tube Video of the patch beong pulled, some I bought from sellers who clearly opened a ton of the stuff (As they had a lot Ultimate listed) and they were not suspected or had any history with patch alterering. I think I have 2 pieces that I cannot account for but again they were not sellers with bad history and I inspected the pieces and I feel 100% comfortable with them. With that said I myself cannot be 100% certain on anything but as long as I am comfortable with it then im good. Good luck on what ever you do.

I would say it is fake. I'm not as familiar with the hamilton from this set as I am with other players but I would not feel comfortable buying this one. Also, these have creases and window edge (less common than creases) damage out of the packs and the product was rushed. And if this is a fake patch, I do not believe it was altered by this seller.

Absolutely real and will go for somewhere b/w $300 and $500. Just watch. I haven't decided how high I will be willing to go on it, but I really want it.

I think I have seen this card before on auction.. There are a few of us that for some reason are trying to complete the set..

I know I am probably 3rd or 4th as I only have about 80 or so out of the 115 on the list..

Due to the QC at UD, some of these cards did have crease marks, so you have to take a gamble on whether or not it's real..

I already have a Josh Hamilton card, but this one is an upgrade from mine.. Sometimes I will get a card to fill a spot, and then when a nice card comes along, I might upgrade and then I get rid of the old one.. (sometimes I buy two of the same card as I forgot I put a snipe on a card.. ::facepalm:: )

Good luck

Good luck..

Seriously? One closed for $45. They usually sell for $50-$60.

You really thing this one will go for 6-8x that? Is the set that popular?

I was thinking the same thing. I know this is a nice card but 350 seems high as the prices on this set have softened as of late. Of course all it takes are two people to shoot it out but I'd say 150 seems more likely as the top end.

 

[Pinbreaker]

Well, I hope you won it for that price..

I saw how low it was and thought about upgrading, but I knew you wanted this card..

 

[bighurtcollector]

I have six of 'em i paid less than $60 for on all of them, some are letters and some are pieces of numbers. I personally saw that one and walked right back away from it. I personally don't like it to be real HOWEVER like Pinbreaker said you have to take a gamble on it if you like/want it. I'm out on this one guys so good luck with it, i'll wait for the next one to come around. Good Luck

 

[bighurtcollector]

not to hijack the ever deserving Hamilton thread but do you guys who are putting the sets together know about what the Crawfords sell for? I pulled one and it's part of his "A" just curious ok back to Josh now

 

[ChasHawk]

There have been waaaayyyy nicer patches to come out of this product, but that damage at the bottom of the window still puts me off.

If it's a nice patch.. probably in the $65 range..

It could be damage, and it could be a bad scan..

 

[JoshHamilton]

I forgot to put it on my watch list. Dammit

I was gonna bid $100, so I wouldn't have won it anyway

Real or fake patch, I didn't really care. It's a cool looking card regardless

 

[mrwhitesox30]

The Hamilton in question was originally sold by casecards513 on 7/14/10 (original scan is below). On the same day the seller sold full logo patches from this set of Reyes and Jenkins

Other cards sold by casecards513

 

[ChasHawk]

^^That does not bode well for the legitimacy of that card. :?

 

[Gonzaleznut]

Well...that didn't take long for this card to pop up again...
