That has to be fake right? I have a button (#/6?) from the set, and the jersey #/99... I'll have to scan them up later. This is fascinating though... I think the seller popped the little piece of jersey out, sewed the button on, and popped the jersey back in. Opinions?

It's comical.

One thing for certain...it's really funny, just not really real.

A few other items the seller has up don't sit right with me either.

This looks off for Kobe's auto

My guess would be fake.

CC is a big guy but it would still take a few jerseys to get /99 buttons

fake but still sad that people can now make fake button cards.Someone can buy a low numbered jersey for 1.00 and turn it into a 30.00 button card.

Feedback as a buyer has some funny stuff. Shouldn't belong on Ebay.

possibly the greatest fake of all time, you MUST win that!

I'm kind of thinking about it. I'm going to offer him $1. It was funny, when I saw it I was distressed to see the button card #/99.

:lol:

I'm on a quest to own them all. Up until this set I was almost there...

2004 Leaf Limited Button 6/6
2005 Leaf Limited Button 4/5
2005 Leaf Limited Button Auto 0/1
2005 Playoff Prime Patches Button 8/10

So I had 18/22 of them, and I think they dropped 6 new ones on me. Maybe it's only 5 though, I'm struggling to remember. I only have one of the new ones though, so my % is way down.


You know what else I noticed.... all of my buttons have 4 holes for stitches, where this silly button has 2 holes...


Thanks for your input guys!

He said that he got Kobe auto at the game
I don't know the specifics of Kobe's contract with Upper Deck, but I know from a couple of other brand-exclusive guys, that they weren't allowed to sign other brands, even when a kid would come up and ask them to sign a card. If that's the case, Kobe made a mistke or this guy is full of crap. I'm voting the latter, given the button /99, lol.

Definitely fake. Sabathia's buttons pop whenever he puts a jersey on, never to be found again.
