Much like the last TTT Relic vs 1/1, unless it's a rookie, a 1/1 does not impress me! Vote for Hosmer.

If I got it right, here is where we are:
The final first round match up pits a pair of patch cards:
From [MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] we get a beauty of an All Star triple patch of Chase Utley 9/9
And I am submitting a Clay Buchholz patch /3
We will be adding a poll to the voting, so please vote there.
Lancemountain - Let us know why you picked your card.

I submitted the Buchholz patch as I used to collect Buchholz autos, but picked this patch up in a team break. I collected him because I was looking for a Red Sox player that 1) was under team control for several more years (at the time) 2) was not ridiculously expensive to PC 3) I thought would get a good mix of autos over time and 4) didn't suck.
Well, 3 of those 4 worked out to be true. I stopped buying his stuff about 2 years ago but still have a large collection of his autos. At the moment I am trying to decide what to do with the collection.
All of the above is true, but I also like this card because as a Red Sox fan, I think it it pretty cool to have a patch with some of the team name.

When I first got back into the hobby (2006) I was literally shocked at what was going on. There were so many more parallels and inserts and of course game used stuff. I kept to Phillies set building of just Topps and really enjoyed all the colors in bowman and topps chrome. Jump a few years and Utley, who was my favorite player since Von Hayes was just starting to really get a serious career going. I "discovered" triple threads in 2008 and actually started a set of every relic card. I abandoned that and sold it all off a few years later. I found this card BIN for $100 and really wasn't sure if it was real. I asked the board here (I had never spent that much on a modern card before) and a member here showed a similar card of Mike Lowell and so I bought it. I've since been able to purchase another Utley card with more of the same patch but this is my first high end modern card purchased and will be the last one sold off if I ever decide (have no plans ATM) This card hooked me in hardcore into the hobby and modern collecting so it also has that going for it. I'd love to get as many of the /9 of this card as possible but I've only ever seen 4 and the other two are locked up in set collectors.
Really love the card, the patch is great and it's the best modern Phillies card that I own.
As a phillies fan, utley fan and card collector I feel very lucky I am able to call this card my own.

Woah...nice cards to finish round 1. While the Bucholtz card is quite nice aesthetically in it's own right and is #'d to 3, I am going to have to go for the Utley on this one. #'d to 9 is still pretty SSP and the fact that it has some serious logo patches really helps. Add the fact that the color of the card really works well with the patches themselves and you have a very attractive card.
My vote is for Chase Utley. Great stuff!!!

This was a tough choice for me. I like both reasons why both cards were posted, and they both have nice patches as well. I typically favor larger window patches, but due to the sleeve patch in the Utley I have voted for that one.

Gonna go with Utley. Both are nice patches, just don't like the color scheme of the Buchholz card.
I vote for the Buccholz.
Not a fan of the large amount of red-orange blank space on the Utley. Even with the Buccholz having teal green that doesn't match the color scheme of anything related to him, the card, or the Red Sox, I'd rather have a mis-matched background color than too much negative space.

I think the Buchholz is much nicer looking card, but as a life-long Yankees fan I can't vote for it. Ha!
My vote is for Utley.

Ill go with the Clay , the action image pushed it over the top. Had the Utley either had a large patch window instead of broken up or an action image it coulda got it. But the Clay picture with a nice patch takes it.

My vote is for Clay. The top half of the Utley card lost it for me. There is simply too much dead space.

Sometimes less is more but not on the Utley card. I like the patch because of the All Star designation. They could have put a Phillies logo on it and made the All Star Game logo larger. Nice 3 patch card though.
The Bucholtz card is from a rather bland TTT release. Through no fault of the card owners, the "E" patch is upside down, but not sure many noticed it. There are only 3 of them and who knows where the other two are (sealed boxes in a warehouse at D&A's?). There is action though on the card and little to no dead space. It has a lot better eye appeal then the Utley.
Bucholtz +1 for me.
