Also, they're cheap because I think most vintage collectors feel this same way. Plus, the supply gets so watered down from them making 500+ ? cards or more from a single jersey or bat....Then to top it off, they encase these pieces with a glossy, shiny, foily modern frame, that's just ugly...

I have no issue with the modern player cuts, because the supplies aren't limited at all, the market is flooded with extra bats and jerseys to account for these cards. Just leave the vintage player stuff alone!

That being said, feel free to snatch them up if you feel they are genuine bargains. I feel like sometimes they go for the low prices they do because they make some people want to vomit....

Gee, maybe they're cheap because they're not real?

is $1000 cheap? im confused

you can get a bunch of ruth cards for less than that....

anyone ever see the Jim Thrope Jersey card? another card that is AWESOME to touch and feel!!!

[yanksfan09]

Yeah I got my Red Goudey #149 graded fair for about that price with nice eye appeal....Would I trade that for a cut up piece of unverified cloth surrounded by a cheesy modern cardboard frame......tempting....

well, the market has set the value on these ruth cards and they have only gone WAY up since they were issued, not to mention you dont see them for sale very often anymore...

so even though most on this board will HATE these cards, the market has provided a significant value to these cards (also meaning that the general buying public believe these to be real)

25% of the general public also thinks 9/11 was an inside job.

The same 25 percent also thinks there is still an ongoing grand jury investigation into shill bidding.

i hope this is just a bad /tasteless joke on your part...surely you cant believe that...


and to clarify
I DONT COLLECT PATCH CARDS, i havent bought one in many years, its just i have a few RUTH, Gehrig, Thorpe Jersey cards that i like to break out every now and then...

guess what cards interest my non- collecting friends and family more, YUP the patch cards are way more a hit than some E90-1 SGC slabbed Hofer..

there is just something special when you can touch and feel the 100 year old wool that plastic cant match!!!

actually, i see these cards on ebay and some have huge prices but never sell. and these 1/1 schemes are incredible! just because these modern cards are stamped 1/1 people think it's super rare-just crazy! i think they should have each card with a patch in it psa/dna certified-at least those of the vintage ballplayers-if not psa/dna than mears or some other reputable third party-jmo

What, they might not be fake? No way.......You must have missed all of the people having legal issues lately in the sports memorabilia field? I have a laundry basket of rags too......just think, I could be rich, rich, rich (yes, Iggy, that kind of rich....Rich Luckey ........)
