Show off your Game Used Patch/Memorabilia Cards...

[frikativ54]

I know we all like to criticize the cutting up of jerseys for patch and memorabilia cards, but I must admit that I still own a couple. I've sold most of them off, but I have to admit a sentimental attachment to the following two Bagwell 1/1 patch cards from the 2006 UD Exquisite set. IMO, they are very beautiful.

The two patch cards are holdovers from the days when I thought such cards were the closest way I could get to whole game used items. But I must admit that I love them aesthetically, which is why they are still in my collection. I would love to see pictures of the ones you own, along with your reasons for keeping them.

Here goes:

My NFL Logo patch cards - from top left - Joseph Addai, Lee Evans, Cliff Russell, Brian Urlacher, Aaron Brooks, Michael Huff, Tyrone Calico, Michael Bennett, Eddie George, CJ Spiller

The Evans, Brooks, Huff and Calico are 1/1s.

Preston I'd be very careful of any cards w/ a NFL shiled not #'ed 1/1. THey are some of the most faked cards out thier.

@Gadsden - definitely agree - the only one I'm not 100% sure it's real is the Eddie George dual. But I've got a lot of confidence in the other ones.

Any that don't say NFL logo probably aren't real.

WOW. I'm a Bagwell fan and think that those are very beautiful cards. They are 1/1 to boot!

Here are some college versions that I think are really neat even though they are technically not game used:

Thank you. I used to have less rare Bagwell versions as well from that set, but I sold them to fund a game used purchase. Not selling these though, as they are gorgeous, really rare, and have meant a ton to me.

It's funny how they used to be the centerpieces of my collection, period. But now having bought full game used items, they are just another part of the collection - one that I will never get rid of.

If I had a ton of cash, I would collect the 2006 UD Exquisite baseball set. It is one of my favorites that was ever produced. But I don't collect cards that much anymore, unless it's something that really catches my eye.

They aren't game used? Are they event-worn or something of the sort?

My story pretty much parallel yours except it's a different player and sport. It's cool that we both collect former Houston sports athletes!

The cards shown are event worn. There has been some heat from card companies after players were found to wear layers of jersey or claims that players would "wear jerseys" for 2 seconds. Here's an example of a player "wearing" jerseys during the rookie premiere which eventually get cut up for cards:

Who's your guy? I don't really follow the NFL. If I followed more than one sport, I'd collect more than one sport. Which would be a big yikes for the pocketbook.

I have heard about the wearing jerseys for two seconds, but I never realized that players were sporting layers of jerseys, each one "event worn." Do you know of an article that discusses this?

Here is the guy I collect. I'm not sure if there are articles, but there has been blogs and has been talked about in forums.
