http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...500wt_1287
Never seen a card like that from 09 Tribute, I think it is fake but was hoping to get your thoughts on it...

Yikes, doesn't look like anything I've ever seen out of tribute
Always interested in quality Barnes, Red Sox, and Patriots

What a weird description "This card is no artificially created rarity; it's a classic." - so, maybe it's an artificially created classic and not rare or rare? ha ha
As for whether or not it is real, I don't know.

i'd say fake,
1. it doesnt look real
2. i dont think they would put that nice of a path in a card /75

I would be a little cautious with this one. There are a few on the bay that are out of /75 and none of them have a crazy colored patch like this. They are all solid pieces of material. Dunno. I really doubt they would just randomly make 40/75 stand out so much from the rest. Seems a little odd to me.

I'm obviously no expert, but the patches look a little funny to me. Other "bird" patches I have seen from Topps Sterling or other high end products are a different texture.

Topps is funny like that. I have this 09 Sterling #/25 with multicolor patches. I have seen the same card #/10 with no patches in it.
I need 2007 & 2008 Topps Sterling Base Cards #/250

If it's real, that's one of the nicest looking patches I've seen on a card.
