Can you pick out the real from the fakes? 7 out 8 could not.That's alot of money wasted.All these buyback cards are being forged by the same person.

You know I was thinking these were fakes too the more I saw them continually popping up on eBay. The only one that looks legit is the 06 Bowman.

Beautiful card! Easily Bonds' toughest EPIX card. I should probably bite the bullet and pick this up from Burbank...

 

[flightposite]

Anyone have any of these?

Happy Happy Happy Day! Was up for about 45 minutes and when I came across it I just had to pull the trigger and use the BIN. Starting bid was 77.77 and it was a ten day auction. I think I made the smart move. These are rarely listed. Worthpoint.com only shows 2 of these, one auctioned in 07 and one in 11.

Congrats on the Quantum Leap!! They are very tough to find. I picked mine up many years ago and have probably seen only one other since then.

I have a 1996 Liberty Sports, 1996 Dennys Grand Slam and Grand Slam AP, and 1994 Jumbo Gold Allstar if anyones interested

Haven't been around to post anything for awhile. Time to share a few favorites.

Both of these are "Event used" bases. But I like the design and have a few other players from this event. Would be cool to see someone organize this again.



I don't have much for "real" GU, but this is what I have...



And one of my all-time favorite Dufex sets from Pinnacle. 1995 Select Certified Gold Team.

Those 1995 Certified Gold Team cards will always have timeless appeal. I always thought they would look even better with the images reversed and the portrait picture on the front.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

That's how I have it in my album! Portrait in the front!

 

[GUCD231]

Clevland,those Big League Challenge cards are cool.I have a few of them and even made this shadow box for the set and a sealed McFarlane.

 

[GUCD231]

Just picked this one up on the cheap.I used to have one but sold it a while back.Ilike the fact that the sig is on leather.

 

[GUCD231]

I have been collecting Barry Bonds for a while now and I decided to put together a collection of all his different Game used or Event used cards.I have used the terminology on the card as a guideline.Some state "Home" jersey or "Away" jersey.Others are a different color "pant" and It's a given on where it's from.Here's what I have come up with so far.I am thinking Mr. Bonds has one of if not the biggest assortment of relics out there.

1) Home Jersey (white)
2) Away Jersey (gray)
3) Pants (white home)
4) Pants (gray away)
5) Patch (includes SF and Pitt)
6) Cap (I have the outside and under the brim)
7) Wrist band
8) Shoe (also includes cleat)
9) Batting glove
10) Fielding glove
11) Base
12) Ball
13) Bat (includes barrel and handle slices)
14) Bench (includes seat relic)
15) Wall (outfield)
16) Dirt (home plate)

Please let me know if I am missing anything or you know of anything else.

Congrats on the auto! Perfectly placed. And when it comes to GU, He sure does! When TSC came out with that Play at the Plate game used batter's box dirt I had to laugh and show my family and friends. They really thought I went over the deep end buying a card like that!

 

[weight333]

Finally scratched the last Walmart insert off my list. This '74 is easily the toughest of the bunch for Bonds.

I had to pick one of these up on eBay when I saw it just for the pure novelty of it! Even as a Bonds collector I can take a joke

 

[GUCD231]

I have never come across that one,lol.I did see the UD * sweet spot auto though.I agree you have to lighthearted about things.

Also here's another forgery to avoid.

Thanks for the heads up. I've avoided all those Topps product uncirculated cards for quite a while.
