Any other player collectors do this ... or am i crazy?

brewerfan99 · Oct 3, 2013

I've only noticed this twice for my player ... just wondering if anyone else collects all variations of game used relics in the same set.

The Gold Jersey Relic in this years Allen and Ginter must be a SSP ... only seen 2 on EBAY.... here are my examples ... lets see yours!

That's pretty cool. I've only seen this one time I think with Belle and I think I picked up both the piece of the bat and piece of the jersey for 2011 Topps Marquee Titanic Threads. As you can see from below, the top one is /99 and is a bat, the middle one is /10 and is jersey and the one at the bottom is another /99 but is more premium IMO

You can also see from the middle one that it looks like either color/patch is behind the white jersey or that is where a patch was because you can see color.

I know I do. Different color jersey, different card. For example:

2004 Ultra Hitting Machines Jersey Silver JB Red.jpg

2004 Ultra Hitting Machines Jersey Silver JB White.jpg

Now usually when a set is released with a bat piece, and a jersey piece, they are listed in beckett as seperate cards, so I definitely count them as different cards. Only a small handful of jersey cards are listed as different cards based on different jersey colors.

I only collect a second version of a memorabilia card if its obvious the swatch is from a different jersey. Like, I'll collect the same card with home and road jerseys, but not plain white and white with jersey stripe - which are probably from the same jersey.

Also if the card company makes a mistake and uses someone else's jersey swatch on the card, I'll collect that variation too.

How do you know if its someone elses?

If it's a jersey from a team he never played on, or in the case of old DLP products that pictured the actual jersey on front - I have one card where it can't possibly be the jersey pictured.

You may be crazy, but so am I. There's a few GU cards that I've found at least five different color swatches for, and I need them all. Some Troy Glaus cards can have white, grey, dark blue, or grey/dark blue stripe swatches. Some players can have swatches from two different teams in the same set, based on when they were traded and who made the card.

You are crazy! And I hear-by denounce your Supercollector title because I deem you unfit...

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

I think it's totally sane. I've definitely bought multiples of the same card because of the different relics included. here's a couple:

Pedro Martinez 2001 Upper Deck Gold Glove Leather Bound with "ER" engraving (probably from the word "leather")

same card with eye hole

That you may be insane and that other collectors do the same are not mutually exclusive.

I do, although Perk only has GU cards in 2 sets.

riveraXVX · Oct 3, 2013

never did find a red swatch of the base relic - but always keep an eye out for it if one does pop up.

It took me forever to get all 3 swatch variations for my set with the grey wool being the toughest.
