Have you seen this ICHIRO on eBay?

fiskaaron · 05-03-2016, 05:50 AM

Take a look at this Ichiro.

2010 Topps Triple Threads Ichiro Seattle Mariners 6 Color Logo Patch 24 27 | eBay

Pretty ridiculous card. It's a shame that my mind automatically asks, "I wonder if this is fake?" I'm well aware that patches are faked but to fake a Triple Threads patch with some of the relic windows spelling out words and other shapes/designs would be nearly impossible to the average Joe, correct? While at the same time keeping the edges of the window in decent shape.

What do you all think about this Ichiro? Fake vs. real? If real, then does anyone know what patch the one one the left is from?

TarjetasBéisbol · 05-03-2016, 06:03 AM

That does look like a very nice patch but without actually having it in my hands for inspection I couldn't tell if it was real or fake. Sad that we even have to think about something like that but if a person has the will to fake a patch it could be possible to find a way to do it.

those cards are heavily faked. in older triple threads regardless if the card was patch word jersey it would all be the same thickness smoothies with jersey would have space between the jersey and top of the card

Can you clarify? Are you saying an authentic patch will have space between the jersey and the top of the card or a fake patch will have the space?

ND3 · 05-03-2016, 06:55 AM

Would love to see a side view of the card. You can tell the TTTs cards have been fileted open and patches inserted.

DarkTiger29 · 05-03-2016, 07:41 AM

A /27 wouldn't have such a nice patch and as said above, those cards were heavily faked. nuff said

Here is one /36 and you can see it's a single color swatch of jersey on most of these patches. For the /27, the color of the card would have changed, not the relic to such prolific patches.

texmcpherson · 05-03-2016, 08:30 AM

/27? I don't think so.

Firerunner4 · 05-03-2016, 08:35 AM

No way in heck that's real being /27

fiskaaron · 05-03-2016, 09:05 AM

That was my question too..../27?

mkal411 · 05-03-2016, 10:31 AM

That card has been opened up, fake patches have been inserted, and the card was then glued back together. I say that with 100% certainty. I'm not saying probstein did it, but someone did at some point while in possession of that card.

From 2010 - 2012, I was buying nearly any and all low/mid end 2010 Triple Threads relics, autos and relic autos. I believe at the peak, I had approx. 500 Triple Threads hits.

For most players solo relic cards (Adam Dunn being one exception I can recall), the only parallels of the relics that would contain patches were the gold (#'d /9), sapphire (#'d /3), and the various 1/1s (platinum, wood, white whale plates).

Usually, the gold contained 1 patch among the 3 windows, sapphire contained 2 or 3 and the 1/1s generally had patches in each window.

This is correct, the card is altered. It was split in half and put back together with premium patches.

Haze28 · 05-03-2016, 02:30 PM

That is a pretty crazy patch for a card with that numbering. More than likely fake. This makes me question a card I have in my collection, I bought this David Price on eBay years ago and when I received it the card was actually splitting down the side. Being kind of newly back into the hobby I didn't really question it, I just figured the card split because of how thick the patch was. Do you guys think this could be fake?

chezball · 05-03-2016, 02:35 PM

Look at who's selling the card,that's all I needs to know. Nothing like a fake card getting shillled.

That's a good point. Although it is very shady/suspect, I don't really think probstein would sell a fake card

lol, No your cards is fine and you eluded to a problem with triple threads. The cards tend to not be well put together and look split at times. I have owned a few like that. Usually happens with the 1/1s and plates. Your card is good though.

Lonewolf · 05-03-2016, 06:37 PM

It looks awesome, but way too much going on with the patches to be real...what losers

JimShorts01 · 05-03-2016, 10:22 PM

Thoughts on this card? I just dont see how that rip on the bottom right would have made it past some sort of QA.

Immaculate has ridiculous patches/gloves/cleats/etc., it's a 1/1, and it's part of the tongue of the cleat. I'm guessing it's just part of the shoe.

kcgranola · 09-12-2016, 08:25 PM

the ichiro patch is fake the large patch with 1977 is from the following jerseys.

The trend of an anniversary patch every five years continued in 2007, with a new design for the 30th anniversary. It was placed on the right sleeve of all jerseys.

I have never seen topps ever use that patch in any mariner cards at all.

If this card is real (I am assuming it is), it is probably on their website. A lot of the sneak peak cards were hand numbered like that and pictured on the site. Trout would definitely be there.

I was thinking the same thing after seeing this other Ichiro tonight as well...can't help but think there's no way it's real. Classic switch out the patch and send to BGS to fool ppl who think BGS authenticates the patch as well.

I have a wood Tyson Ross 1/1 TTT that's splitting a bit, too. Your card is fine. Nice card.

Yeah definitely fake. Here is another the same seller posted last night.....smh!!!
