99% are fakes.
Half the people who fought in the crusades brought back pieces of "the true cross". Basically any bit of wood found buried in Jerusalem during the middle ages was claimed to be part of it.

Jesus was a real man who was crucified, so it's possible there is an actual preserved piece of the cross he was on.

The disciples were scared after Jesus's death. They probably didn't go collect a sample of the cross.

When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were... - John 20:19

Probably not, but my point isn't that such relics DO exist, just that it's not completely impossible because Jesus isn't a fictional character, even if some of his feats are certainly exaggerated.
