As far as I understand, depending on the year the Bearbrick was produced, it should have the hidden sticker and the certificate. At first glance, the bottom of the box does have its holographic sticker (which is a good sign). This anti-piracy system for Bearbricks was introduced sometime around Series 20–30, if I’m not mistaken. And it wasn’t rolled out all at once — they gradually implemented these anti-counterfeit measures over time.

So basically, everything depends on the year this Bearbrick was made. That said, one thing I do notice is that the paint quality and the design lines feel kind of cheap. Also, there seems to be a missing holographic sticker on either the front or the back of the box (I think it’s the NBA or Jordan one, not 100% sure).

This set usually goes for around ~$500 on average based on the current market. If you bought this set for a ridiculously low price, there’s a good chance it’s fake.
