Novelty Collectibles / Celebrity Collectibles

These are amusingly obvious fake Backstreet Boys photo cards, made in Taiwan. They went to a lot of expense on the packaging (two cards per each plastic, protective sleeve within another plastic package) and also the glittery backsides but spelled Backstreet Boys as Basketreet Boys on some cards while making two words of Backstreet on others.

Some of the photos are laughingly bad quality but also kinda artsy looking. I don’t know if anyone would like them as novelty items to add to their collection but I have several sets available.

The sets come packages in a plastic container and each set of two cards is housed in a plastic sleeve. The plastic sleeves alone would be worth what I’m asking.

See picture of fake Backstreet Boys Photo Cards Below

There are 34 cards in each set, with a couple being duplicate in each pack. You end up with about 28 to 30 different cards per pack.

$2 a pack for these unusual novelty fakes. Order Info
