Patches!by Billy Kingsley - 103 cards (Last updated on Feb 25, 2020) |
There is something special about pulling a patch card. When they started doing relics in 1996 they didn't do patches, and when they started introducing patch cards, they didn't make a big deal about it...if you got one, that was great, but it was just considered a jersey card. That didn't last long, and they soon became the de facto parallel for relics.
For the NBA, patches come from the player's name, the team logo, the number, or the tag. (But NOT the borders around the arm or neck holes) For NASCAR it comes from the sponsor patches or the driver's name. I've got quite a few patches, so I thought I would share them in a List.
81. 2013-14 Panini Rookie Anthology - Titanium Update Rookie Gear Autograph Patch #RA-DMI Dylan McIlrath
A gift from the writer of the 2x3 Heroes card blog....I had no idea it was coming! Took me a while to get it posted because I had to research and post the checklist. |
82. 2013 Topps Inception - Rookie Patches Green #RP-DRO Denard Robinson
Got in trade from a fellow card blogger. I didn't realize it was coming, I thought I was just going to get the NBA card on the top of the stack! |
84. 2009-10 SP Game Used - Triple Patch #TP-BRJ Kwame Brown / Malik Rose / Jerome James
COMC. My first Knicks patch, surprisingly, as they are considered my home team. |
86. 2015-16 Panini Absolute - Tools of the Trade Rookie Materials Dual Patch #33 Walter Tavares
COMC, I wanted to see what the Hawks neon green yellow hybrid looked like in person. |
87. 2016-17 Panini Court Kings - Art Nouveau Jumbo Sapphire #27 Patrick McCaw
COMC, probably the most spectacular one added to my collection yet! |
88. 2010-11 Panini Luxury Suite - Jersey Numbers Sticks #38 Scott Gomez
Received as a welcome to hockey gift from a member of a hockey card group I joined on Facebook. |
89. 2015-16 Upper Deck Portfolio - Profiles Materials Quad Premium Series Gold #PM4-WG Wayne Gretzky
I pulled this from a box in November 2017. It may be the best pull of my life. SN 1 of 2. |
90. 2003-04 Flair - Wave of the Future Patches #WOFP-CK Chris Kaman
COMC. I am thinking about taking a run at this set. I don't know if I will be able to as I need both Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade still. But it's only 12 cards and I only need 10. Maybe... |

Impressive collection there Billy. Did you pull many of those from packs?

Hi Switzr, I just saw your comment now. I would say that roughly 75% to 80% of these were indeed pulled by me. I also purchased some as singles, traded for one or two and even won one of them as a giveaway! I usually am making note of where I got them, but sometimes I don't actually remember. I was bringing in over 1000 new cards a month during the peak of my collecting in 2002-04, when most of these were added to my collection, and I just don't remember on many of them.

I like that Gasol game worn jersey patch, good pick-up there.
| ||
I go for the 'PRIME' patches myself...just because they are more colorful!
| ||
Great collection of memorabilia - nice variety - gotta love those monochrome "patches" :) That Shaquille O'Neal patch looks like it hits "right between the numbers", as in the 3 & 4. Turned sideways, the two-color piece is part of the 3's upper curve & the small piece is the 4's left-most point. | ||
Just saw the comments I got years ago...major facepalm on my part! Thank you all Joey, Ray and SaintOrm! You might be right on the Shaq, certainly better than I've come up with. | ||
I think hockey cards have the best patches. | ||
That Gretzky is SWEET! | ||
Thanks! I'm still kind of amazed that I was able to pull that one. Certainly my best so far. |
