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.
31. 2008 Press Pass - Four Wide #FW-MT Martin Truex Jr.
I always wanted a 4-Wide, so I bought one on Ebay. |
32. 2006 Wheels American Thunder - Double Hat #DH 11 Jimmie Johnson
I actually won this in a contest Press Pass held on Facebook.

33. 2009-10 Panini Absolute Memorabilia - Tools of the Trade Materials Prime Black Spectrum #TOTT9 Elton Brand
For Christmas 2013, I got a bunch of cards (over 800 new ones, to be exact!) and also a gift card for Amazon. I completed a set that meant a great deal to me, and I also nabbed this one and another, non-patch Elton jersey. |
34. 2002-03 Upper Deck - UD Game Jersey Patches Number Series One #JK-P# Jason Kidd
Another single color patch from Upper Deck. You can tell it's a patch by the texture of the material, but single color patches are not all that interesting. I don't remember how I got this one. |
35. 2003-04 E-X - Net Assets Patch #SF-NAP Steve Francis
This was the first patch I got where I discovered they used sparkly material on jerseys. |
36. 2012 Press Pass Legends - Pieces of History Memorabilia Silver #POH-RR Ricky Rudd
I pulled this one from a retail blaster box at Christmas 2014. It's the first and so far only patch I've pulled from retail. |

39. 2003-04 Hoops Hot Prospects #90 Steve Blake
I know I pulled one of the two Wizards patches from this set, and got the other as a single, but I don't remember which one anymore. |
40. 2003-04 Hoops Hot Prospects #96 Troy Bell
I don't remember how I got this one. The autograph is on a holofoil sticker- it may be a variation. |

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. |
