Fake Brodeur patch?

[forsberg21]

I was searching eBay and came across this ridiculous Broduer patch:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2000-bap-millen...rading_Cards?hash=item3ca68b72bf#ht_500wt_965

I immediately thought of it as an obvious fake as the NHL shields in the 90's and early 00's were orange and black, not silver and black (like they use on the newer Edge jerseys). What do you guys think? Also, have fake patch cards also turned up in significantly older product?

....the NHL shield is consistent with the 1999-2000 season but it's hard to say what Brodeur jersey ITG was using at the time of production.

With the issues going on now, I would say its probably a fake.

However I have seen a couple of patches from that set with the NHL emblem on there also, to my knowledge they did do that for the set that year.

I had a Gretzky from the year before that had a big piece of a shield in it from an all-star jersey.

Another thing to consider is the way they were making the cards at that time - I would think that the card would show significant damage around the edges if it had been messed with, as pieces didn't just "pop out" of those cards.

The back of the card will state exactly what jersey was used to make the card. If anyone has a copy to check that would go a long way.

Hello.

I'm goin' to go againt the grain and say that card is absolutely legit. ITG produced some unique cards in those sets. I believe there was a thread not too long ago, where a Toronto based seller/dealer was selling of a large collection of these Millennium patch cards that contained NHL Shield pieces. Either way, nice lookin' card.

Cheers,

Look, I'm just saying that for such a unique piece, you'd think he'd have better shots.

Was not a shot directed at you at all, its just the common reaction among all of us these days when we see something like that.

If its an ITG card, then I say it is legit, but not at that price.
My only beef is the seller has taken a pic of the card on top of a towel... kind of like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys was selling it or something.

I'm with Eli, anyone that did any amount of that stuff knows that many many shield pieces were used in the Emblems.

Maybe it is just me but if this is the EMBLEM version, as it says up in the left corner of the card, that makes me think it is legit. Does each one of the EMBLEM versions have the shield?

 

[forsberg21]

Thanks for the feedback guys! More likely than not, it's probably real because ITG made some really crazy patches back in the day. The truly sad thing is that because of a few bad apples, I've been taking a "guilty until proven innocent" stance (as opposed to the other way around) because of the all too frequent fake patch horror stories.

Its legit, I have seen a card like that before from that same set with a shield piece
