Stirring up an old thread to ask if the currently listed BLENDS posted are Real, and if price is market average... or on the high side?

Check out my real ones along with their prototype brother.


Originally a crappy member here traded me for a fake one. Like sent me his fake pair he commissioned dr. Chop to paint..luckily it was such an obscenely bad fake I spotted it a mile away and he sent the legit one via FedEx overnight. I had threatened to call him out on every platform unless he made it right.. as if he could pull the wool over my eyes about a rare frog. I did some extra research regarding both of these and found their original source. I was eventually satisfied on their authenticity and was able to settle my mind. Still the fakes now are easy to spot. What a **** that guy was..

I am still stunned to hear a respected member with one of the largest collections would do something like that....create and then pass off a fake as authentic. I have since heard of other stories of respected collectors selling fakes but it is still unfortunate no matter how many times I hear the story.

You bet. That's exactly correct. He tried twice but was caught on the first. I had numerous chances to get him back but never did. We are past it now but I'll never forget

Your so right. Money makes people turn from kind to evil quickly. I always wondered to how many people he did screw over before trying with me..

Reviving this thread again for comments on the current Royal Lion pair on ebay. Wondering why this pair doesn't have the 'Blends' label/sticker on the box. Does anyone know if all the pairs had that label or did some have a generic box?

Oakley Frogskins Blends Clear Rainbow Fire Iridium Atmos OKI-NI Moda 3 STPL DQM | eBay

An ABSOLUTE GRAIL, the Frogskins Blends were the first Frogskins brought back to life in 2007 after Frogskins were discontinued after the 2nd Generation. All pairs were hand painted! Photograph #8 is a close up the paint finish, as only a real blends will have those 'bubbles' in the finish work...

Be very careful..I don't trust anyone with a blends anymore unless its my guy from HQ. To be honest don't buy a pair without a box unless you know that person well and trust them. The fakes are so hard to spot. There are numbers imprinted into the stems by the hinge. Ive found some of the fakes are missing those. It means you have to remove the stems though. So be careful.

I appreciate the info and advice. I didn't know they had numbers imprinted on them, thats pretty cool. After digging this thread up, I became pretty wary based on your experience. If your HQ guy is ever in the market to move a pair, tell them to drop me a line.

If I come across anything I'll let you know. I know that Robert Lake had one he was trying to sell. Those were 100% legit and complete. I haven't seen him around for a bit though.
