Does anyone know the difference between the S logo on SPALDING basketballs and those without S? For example: there are two types of 64-284.

1. The first thing is to understand the product number of Spalding:

The product number of Spalding is divided into 61-XXX, 62-XXX, 64-XXX, 66-XXX. Four number classifications, 61-XXX, 62-XXX, 64-XXX belong to No. 7 basketball (standard basketball), for example: 61-916, 62-595, 64-284, among which the numbers with added digit W belong to women’s basketball (No. 6 Basketball), for example: 61-942W, 62-217W, the number with the added suffix S is Heijinggou edged basketball, for example: 62-200S, 62-205S (the edged basketball has been discontinued at the end of 2004), 66- XXX is a size 3 small basketball and is sold to children.

Most of the fake Spalding products have no product numbers, or they have random numbers. The so-called super cool series, sweat-absorbent series, twelve-piece leather series and other messy things, as long as they are Products that do not have the above product numbers are definitely fake Spalding basketballs. If you still have any doubts, please call Spalding China General Agent directly: Shanghai Xingsheng Sports Goods Co., Ltd. 021-54960790, Beijing Branch 010-65012770, Guangzhou Branch 020 -38868472

2. Anti-counterfeiting certificate

Genuine Spalding basketballs are equipped with an anti-counterfeiting certificate. The certificate contains a 16-digit verification code that matches the basketball model. , you can conduct anti-counterfeiting verification on Spalding's official Chinese website www.spalding.com.cn. A code can only be verified once and will not be reused by unscrupulous merchants. Each genuine product comes with a certificate of conformity. When purchasing, you will find that there is no

Yes, you must ask for it. Fake anti-counterfeiting certificates are found on the market. There is no anti-counterfeiting code inside, or the silver paint on the anti-counterfeiting code cannot be scratched off. This is because unscrupulous merchants think that consumers will not go there if they see the anti-counterfeiting certificate. Online verification mentality.

Here we focus on how to identify profiteers who sell counterfeit balls with genuine certificates:

Some merchants purchase genuine goods and fake goods at the same time, and make money by passing off inferior goods. Huge profits, you can get a certificate of authenticity after buying a ball that is obviously fake, and it can be verified by the official website. Most consumers have been deceived! Usually such profiteers have their own stores. The authentic products sold in the store deliberately leave the certificate of authenticity and match the fake products for resale, which makes outsiders confused! But as long as you know the barcode of the Spalding basketball, it will be easy to handle. Each authentic Spalding basketball has an independent product barcode. It is on the surface of the basketball. The number on the barcode contains the product number of this basketball. For example, : The barcode of 61-920 is 29321 61920, the barcode of 62-167 is 29321 62167, and the barcode of 64-284 is 29321 64284. Because the 16-digit verification code of the genuine certificate is also marked with the product number, it is a genuine Spalding basketball. The product number and barcode are consistent with the product number on the certificate. The product number and barcode of the fake product with a genuine certificate are definitely inconsistent with the product number on the certificate. Please pay attention! The new Spalding basketball produced in 2006 has readjusted the bar code, and the product number has been printed directly above the bar code, making it easier for consumers to distinguish!

3. Identify by yourself

This comparison Difficult, because some of Spalding's best-selling models naturally appear fake in the Chinese market. Such counterfeit balls look exactly the same as real balls. In addition, the above-mentioned sales with authenticity certificates make it even more difficult to detect! In general, it is divided into the following points:

a. The large "SPALDING" LOGO on the front and back has the small letters "yc" with a strong three-dimensional effect. The fake three-dimensional effect is poor or different from the original one. Not "yc";

b. The authentic ball nozzle is cut with scissors when it is made, so the ball nozzle has very smooth cut marks (this is more professional, there is nothing you can do if you don't understand it);

p>

c. Genuine Spalding is made of high-quality leather, so when you buy a brand new genuine Spalding, the surface will have a shiny feeling, while the fake ones will not have this luster.

The above three methods mainly prevent people from using genuine money to buy fake balls. Merchants selling fake balls get what they pay for, and buyers who buy imitation balls also know what they are doing, which is hateful. These are just some unscrupulous merchants who deceive consumers with shoddy goods.
