It got up around 50 today. It was nice out. Its nice to go back to being able to wear shorts :lol:

I only wear long pants to work. One day it was about 35 and I was in the commissary. This elderly man with a WWII veteran hat on asked me where the rest of my pants were. I told him they we're home, to which he just shook his head, looked at the other guy sitting with him and said, "Kids!".

It's going okay Dave. How's everything your way?

:lol: Depending on if its windy or snowing, I can wear shorts when its in the mid 20's. Its when it is windy or snowing that stops me.

Absolutely nothing worth complaining about. I still get a craving every so often for some gator bites. Dang, they were good!

I already know I'm going to be one of those grandparents who set a bad example for the grand kids. "Mom, why do I have to wear long pants? Grandpa Dave doesn't!"

As long as they thank you with a monetary contribution on a regular basis, you're fine.

Redeem and sit on it. That's what I would do.. If your not a posey collector or not looking for his auto throw it up with a large bin

Good evening.

Got this nice patch for the PC today.

Upon closer inspection there's some sort gummy substance on all four edges that I think might be glue residue.

To me this would be a red flag for a fake patch, but there's no other indications such as edge or window damage. Plus it's not exactly a big-money so why switch the relic for a patch?

What do the trusted MT'ers think? I've never had this experience before.

Did he have a mirror gold jersey? Rickey only had bat.

michaelstepper · Mar 12, 2014

Says jersey, but until 05-06 some patches I personally pulled said jersey on the card. Could be real, and like you said, not highly sought after. A lot of trouble for the money. Card looks great though

Put it on our transaction board, to see if anyone bites. If not, I'll redeem it.

Rodrick the 2002 Leaf Certified set had all kind of issues. That patch is plain enough not to be a fake. Plus that set was LOADED with nice patches.

2002 players had bat, base, or jersey. In 2002 there was no distinction between jersey and prime. I once had really nice patches in all colors that I personally packed pulled.

Yes, Olerud's Mirror Gold is supposed to be a patch. I have seen 1 or 2 others on ebay. It does say jersey in the bottom left corner.

That's what confuses me. Why go through trouble of switching a patch for another patch on a low dollar card? Since cost of sending it back with tracking and insurance would cost me almost as much as the card did, I'm inclined to just keep it.

To add to the total ebay experience for this card, the seller mailed it in a PWE!

Was it from a seller in Ohio

michaelstepper · Mar 12, 2014

Pwe? Dang. Based on my previous thought and George's concurrence I'd say it was legit. Still it's right to have a few questions about it too
