This is always Odd to me.... I don't collect cards too much, I buy maybe 10 a year for autographs and theya re all pretty much game used cards for display purposes.
But anyways, I never understand a jumbo patch card or a low numbered patch card of a player selling for $300+
Take this Ichiro card for example, is a FULL uncut batting glove of his worth $1000 even?
I saw someone also selling a patch card of a USA flag off a game used jersey, yes a very neat 1/1 card of rays prospect desmond jennings, but an asking price of $450? The entire jersey itself would be ahrd to get $450, but if you put a topps (or any card company) logo on it and manufacture a low number it, then it is worth more than an uncut game used item?
I never understand that, but card collectors and game used collectors are 2 different people. Whenever I got into a card shop just to buy card frames, i will always laugh at the prices. Yesterday too, I saw a Devin Hester "patch card" covering 75% of the card, and they wanted $175 for it.... If you are dropping that price, why not just get his entire game used jersey for about $1000 and save up a few hundred more. It is amazing when i say that to card collectors and they look at me like I am insane.
