Ok so, I bought this card off eBay

from a user with 1593 feedback at 99.9%. I'm not sure about how genuine it is. So I'll present my case and feel free to give me your opinions

So, it's a 2010-11 Timeless Treasures NBA Apprentice Laundry Tag and it SHOULD be a 1/1.

But as you can see on the back it is not numbered.

So I noticed that and was like oh whatever it's just a GU that some has tampered with BUT;

a) It doesn't look to have been tampered with;

a) It has the "PRIME" next to the window as the Laundry Tag would, which pretty much eliminates a tampered-with GU.

b) It doesn't have a serial number AT ALL (GU's are /99, Patches /25, Logomen /5) which would eliminate ANY tampered-with card.

c) Lastly, it still has the "The enclosed event-worn swatch is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc"

Which brings me to the question;

Has this guy literally made this card from scratch to sell as a fake?

If this is the case, why DeMarcus Cousins and not Wall, Griffin, LeBron, Durant, Kobe etc. etc.?

OR

Is this a Panini Quality Control issue where this card IS in fact the 1/1 Timeless Treasures Laundry Tag and they have just not stamped it?

To be honest, This doesn't seem too farfetched as it is the ONLY Laundry Tag I've seen in the 2 and a half years I've been collecting DeMarcus Cousins.



Please let me know if you see something I have missed and what your opinion is.

And would there be a way to Authenticate it with Panini?
 
It's right there, how can you not see it...





...psych.


I'd say it's real, but not stamped. They've double-stamped things before so it only makes sense that they'd miss one.
 
Oh, and yes, Panini offer an Authentication service! Pm me and I can lyk who to contact!
 
looks legit but I didnt think they were 1/1 though I have seen a couple on ebay and on another forum too asking same question....*scratches head*
 
Hey Matty,

I think it could be a missed stamp mate... I have the Udoh version which is numbered #/4, comparing your photo to my Udoh I would say yours is legit.

Cheers, Cal
 
I saw a Luke Babbitt one on eBay and it does say all the same things, but the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how the hell would Cousins fit in ANYTHING that is only XL??? Haha

This is the biggest issue! I believe the card is legit but how can that be possible! :p
 
i think its fake cause they dont use size XL or L or ect....
the size should be a number like 44 46 48 ect...
but i could be more right than i think im wrong:crazy:

On the jerseys, yes. But it just says 'event worn' so it could have been a warm up shirt, an dress shirt?? anything! haha
