1) Agree
2) Agree
3) Agree
4) Agree
5) On the fence - Even though it's not a big name player, it's still a high numbered 3 colored but it does not include a patch.
6) Agree
7) Totally Agree. Why would UpperDeck do that? Wouldn't that make the card ugly? Unless the seller was thinking he can get more money by trying to sell you uniqueness.
8) Disagree, I think this is a doctored patch.
9) Agree
10) Disagree. Same as #8, I think this set was very easy to doctor.

check this out. I had a 2005 absolute tools of the trade jumbo prime red Kevin Millwood logo patch /75. Had the Phillies name and bell in the slot. Tried to trade it here on the SCF. Had like 4 or 5 people tell me the card was a fake. Well I sent it to Beckett for authentication and it came back the real deal. Sold it on ebay for $80.00. Didn't need beckett to tell me it was real cause I pulled it. But if you want to ensure the authenticity try Beckett.
Here is a pic of the Millwood. Also here is a pic of my Beltran logo patch that I still have and a pic for the Curt Shilling I just sold 3 weeks ago.

jimcozzolino: As long as it say's Jersey "Prime" or "Patch" and if I know your reputable, especially if you trade on here, and have over 50+ Feedback, I'll say it's real until I find out otherwise. Once I find out otherwise, you better believe your reputation on the board will be as suspect as Roger Clemens denial of PED.

Wrigley: Thats what I thought too but after seeing their logo:



I consider it real since it has the "Prime" or "Patch" on the card.

Did I get ripped off here? This is numbered out of 200.

Sorry to say but that is a fake also. Donruss/Leaf/Playoff designated there patch cards as Prime and or Patch on the front.

Hate to break it to ya, but if you trade that on here, people will say it's a fake patch and you'll get no play for it.

Guess he didn't read jimcozzolino reply. He even stated that everyone thought his high numbered patches were fakes and he has 250+ transactions on here.
