I have a "MEMORABILIA" box in my collection that I use three different rows in. One for Autographs, one for Clothing or Equipment included in the card, and the last one is for Patches or Medallions. While I consider all three memorabilia, I do believe they should all be labeled differently.

I made sure to read the guidelines and rules when they were released by Admin and now know of the MANU acronym for this type of item. I have several OPC MANU patch cards from 10-11 and up and once I start entering my insert boxes any that are MEM will be corrected as per the owner of the site. I too used MEM at first but after thurogh study and reading there are several items in the guidelines that really need to be read. Not trying to start a Outsider's type ruimble LOL but there are several things that were altered or corrected with that information uplaod. So it is worth everyones while to give it a read. =)

I do not full agree with this definition (mainly the autograph), but PSA defines memorabilia as follows:

Mementos from a sports event or belonging to or used by an athlete or sports figure. Examples of sports memorabilia include autographs, photos, programs, team yearbooks, trophies, game tickets, equipment, balls, uniforms, books, and magazines. 

My opinion is that the manufactured patches are not memorabilia, again just my opinion.

grim - I think we all here agree with you - it should be noted as MANU, and therefore will not display in your collection under the MEM classification.
