Roger Clemente Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Could that be one of those "fan replicas" that Championship teams sometimes put out? They aren't always the same as the real rings, and often have fewer gems within it and some of the more detailed and complicated parts are often left out, but they are a reasonable facsimile and it often much cheaper for a regular fan. (Though the only team I can remember selling fan replicas very actively were the 2004 Red Sox.)It could also be a prototype that was created before the final design was settled upon.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knox Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My jaw actually dropped when I saw that somebody was paying over $1500 for that.That's the first time that's ever happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That's pretty bad. I looked at the items he has sold and he usaually acknowledges that it is a replica. This time he does not. Whenever these things come up (especially for this much $$), I always wonder whether I should warn the bidder(s). Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Mings Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Actually, if the bidders didn't read his description, its their own fault. He acknowledges that it is gold plated, has sythetic stones, and cubic zirconia. Thats enough right there to tell you it is a replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats enough right there to tell you it is a replica.the fact it says i have no idea who made it should show its a replica.That and if you know anything about rings at all its clearly a replica.but its 10x's better then those replicas that come out of lucite cubes that everyone sells for 300 bucks.
