The Musial patch pictured below just ended for a whopping $1070. The awesomeness of the logo makes you think it's fake, but just because it looks fake doesn't mean it is. So, where is it from? It looks exactly like the 1967 World Series patch, except the background is dark instead of white. Also, Musial never wore this patch. World Series patches were not worn until 1987, and at that time patches were created for earlier World Series to sell to the collector. Musial was retired in '67, but I don't know if he came back as a coach or not. Was the design based upon an earlier patch that was actually worn? I have pictures of game-used Cardinals jerseys from '54, '55, '58 and '63 (Musial played from '41-'63) and none of them feature any patches on the shoulder, just the regular Cardinals logo on the front.
As far as I can remember, the only nice Musial patches in 2008 Sterling were from the laundry tag and cursive stitching of his name. All of the others featured trim, and not number or logo patches. If anyone has any other info they'd like to add, I'm interested in hearing it.
