AP Exquisite Real or Fake?

HobbyBreaks · 11-03-2010, 12:20 PM

I know AP Equisites are often faked, so I thought I would let some of the trained eyes take a look at this one.

Are you asking about the patch or the Sig or both? the patch just doesn't look right to me at all!

NaterBater · 11-03-2010, 12:30 PM

Looks real to me. I'm not expert though

HobbyBreaks · 11-03-2010, 12:31 PM

I am asking about the patch.

Brad · 11-03-2010, 12:31 PM

Almost looks like the patch came from one of those fake knock-off jerseys.

that is exactly where it came! After looking a bit more that is 100% what I think. It wasn't even a good knock off either it is from the blue and orange knock off ones that are horrible, why someone would want to ruin a good/expensive card like that is beyond me.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but better to get other opinions. What idiots to ruin such a good/rare card.

Almost makes you want to cry. I know people do that to try to get more money but I would hope people that do that to a card like that don't care about money.

camarofan112 · 11-03-2010, 12:51 PM

looks fake,but i dont think it is not sure what jersey the use for signings thou. Because that IS NOT a game used patch.Make me cry seomtimes when the player prolly never even wore it but people are all over it. Rookie patches are not game used, only event used. Really have to get a better look at the stichings to see to be honest.

There is a guy on youtube that looks out for fakes and makes vids on ones he thinks are, he made a vid about this guy recently,

Tough to say

I am use to sell knock offs and became quite an expert but this come come from the numbers on the shoulder. hard to tell with such a small sample of the jersey. Inspecting the stitching is the best way to find the imperfections and so on

nbaker30 · 11-03-2010, 01:27 PM

MASNAR · 11-03-2010, 01:55 PM

DANG what a bummer! The AP is totally a faker... nothing like the stitching used on game used OR authentic. Its the BLUE faker jersey.

BUMMER

MASNAR · 11-03-2010, 01:56 PM

This is more like Authentic Vikings Jersey stitching...

The guy who is selling used to be Ufjumper7, most of the cards he is selling are fake. That one is not real at all.

ddearing · 11-03-2010, 03:25 PM

Funny. I unknowingly bought a fake AP Exquisite from UFJumper7 (I have his real contact info also) about a year ago. I kept the image, but it was a different serial number than this one. BTW, he actually lives in Tennessee, but is from the Gainesville area.

don't you love how he throws in the military info in the description...

Funny you say that because this is basically how I know 100% that this is a knock off. I used to sell them also, I now can spot fakes from a mile away. Anyways there are good knock offs and REALLY bad knock offs. Since I am in Minnesota so got a trained eye on Vikings and Twins Jerseys I could tell right away this is from a REALLY bad knock off.

jdiddy8four · 11-03-2010, 11:53 PM

Look at what some poor soul paid for this fake. It's no wonder why people fake these patches.

Looking for Andre Dawson Serial numbered cards that are his jersey number - either #8 or #10. So looking for cards like 8/8 or 08/99 or 10/250.
