Hey guys,

Had a card arrive today to complete a 5 card set that I have been chasing for over 2 years now. Was so happy to pull out the other 4 that I had stashed away and admire my hard work with them all together. These cards have a small sticker on the back to show their authenticity and to my horror I noticed that one of the cards was missing the sticker :eek: Can't believe I missed it.

Well here is the set - can you guys spot which one seems to be a fake? Card 1 is top left and card 5 is bottom right.

On a brighter note I did manage to complete another set for the Lebron collection. Something a little bit different too. Every year some of the Cavs players would have a dedicated bobblehead night in which the first so many fans to the game would receive a free bobblehead of that player - I decided to chase down all 7 Brons. All have boxes but just took them out for the group photo!

And lastly, as you guys know I love the All Star games and with another gone it means new Lebron items to try and pick up. I got really luck picking up 1 of the 25 pairs of shoes released in Australia (my size as well) and also managed to track down one of the jackets which are numbered to 60 and only available at the game (again my size and NWT)!

Hope you enjoyed the mailday and looking forward to your comments regarding that damn fake... hmmm, maybe the sticker was just fell off - I'm sure it is here somewhere!! :lol:

Number 2 definitely has the most variance of the autographs, not just cause it's in a different colour either.

Love the Jacket and shoes too.
 
Nice Bron additions man, the VIII All stars look a lot better in hand ha? Im saying the second card is the fake one, good luck finding a replacement I never seen those cards before, what are they numbered to?
 
Yeah top middle one.

Shame - I've been burned by a KG college auto before. Thought I had the #21/1000 jersey #'d one! Then it showed up again and looked far more likely! The COA's are so ridiculous!

Having said that - great achievement - I didn't even know there were 5 different ones!!! I'm also not 100% convinced it's fake - it looks a bit different - especially the G but there are a lot of similarities as well...
 
those garnett cards as a set is simply amazing, i always wondered in reality if all five featured autos of 260 and that's answered it. the shoes and jacket speak volumes, nice pickups all round!
 
I'm gonna go with no. 2 being 'stickerless'.... Nice bobbleheads - suppose they couldn't even give them away no win Cleveland! Actually they should bring out some Lebron James squishy balls so they can throw them at him next time he turns up in Cleveland! lol Great stuff!
 
Thanks for all your comments guys... time to reveal the answer. The good news is that I didn't get done over by an obvious fake as no one picked it. The bad news is that everyone thinks that rest of the set is fake!! :lol:

So, card 1 (top left) is the one that doesn't have the sticker. Everyone that mentioned card 2 being black has made a really good point and I hadn't even thought of that. Guess I will picking up replacements for cards 1 & 2!!

Nice Bron additions man, the VIII All stars look a lot better in hand ha? Im saying the second card is the fake one, good luck finding a replacement I never seen those cards before, what are they numbered to?

When I first saw them I almost walked out with 2 pairs! The shoe is so much better in hand and the box how i changes from east to west by sliding it... an amazing job by Nike.... cards are numbered to 260.

Thanks again for all the feedback guys. Different people notice different things and it was a real help.
 
#2? The colour of the ink and the G and the e after the K...

The shoes reminded me of the guy who loved the smell of the game used AFL guernseys he bought. Guessing that's not the case here.
 
:lol: the smell of used game worn gear is pushing it a bit for me but can't beat the smell of a new pair of kicks.

Actually... busting open a new pair of kicks in a new car might top it!!!
