Are topps tribute patches/tags legit?

carrsallstars · Sep 9, 2010

Has anybody here pulled a 2010 topps tribute auto or jersey card with a laundry tag or game used patch in it? A Manny auto just game up that struck me as unusual in that every single other Manny auto to hit the bay so far that I've seen has been composed solely of snow white jersey pieces. Including the /25 and the 1/1. Not accusing the seller of anything, just trying to do some homework and was looking for some input.

I believe that I have seen similar cards from that set before. I think it is legit

Not a patch. It's a screened logo for the manufacturer.

I did find these two cards in closed ebay auction results. Seems to me that the single window versions of these cards would be easier to fake as the triple jersey versions have the relatively thin borders between the patch windows...

Are you thinking of the manufactured "logo" patches from this product?

These examples with the laundry tags have the same authenticity statements on teh back as all of the other jersey/GU from this product?

He meant the logo is printed onto the jersey by Majestic instead of stitched on

These are manufactured...

No no. Majestic has this little screened logo on the bottoms of jerseys. It's not a fabric "patch". A lot like the ones on future's game jerseys and all-star jerseys. That's why there's no real stitching. That little grey stitch you see is actually printed.

It's not made by Topps - it really is on the jersey.

OK- I follow you.

BUt my question is whether that screened on laundry tag portion is legitimately inserted into the product by Topps and is from a GU jersey?

Pretty sure they're legit. Topps uses these same "patches" in alot of their other products.

The screened on majestic tags are for cool base jerseys.

Does Topps really think people believe George Kell wore a Rawlings jersey. Ot whatever joker that switched the jersey piece out with that tag. Man game used jersey cards are getting worse and worse.

Rawlings logo from a pair of pants. Or maybe off the sleeve of a jersey. Most likely a old timers game.

So I'm assuming since you're a Kell collector you didn't pull that one yourself?

And if the Kell piece is legitimate it also assumes Topps is putting the best, most colorful, most valuable piece from a pair of Kell game used pants into the /75 single version of this card, and not the /25, the 1/1, or even one of the triple GU cards (if he has one)?

I am not trying to be snide...given Topps' attention to product detail this is probably likely. But it is also pretty dumb, so I'm just sayin'

Every single one of the 30+ pieces of jersey on the 2010 tribute Kell jersey pieces (looking at current and closed ebay auctions), including the dual GU auto cards and the red 1/1 dual GU auto Kell are all completely white as far as I can tell.

carrsallstars · Sep 9, 2010

No multi colored pieces left for this card I guess... (I f you wanted it gvsu96 I hope you got it!)

I have no reason to believe that it's not legitimate. The pair of pants that this swatch probably cam from has been used in previous years products. There are a bunch from Tribute that hasn't popped and he's going to be in Triple threads again and I'm guessing more swatches will pop up from these pants if they have used up the flannel jersey/pants that they have used in previous releases.

It's mine.

So it sounds like nobody here has pulled a multicolored jersey piece from a pack?

CoolBase Jersey Tags have been found in place of regular swatches in everything from Allen & Ginter, to Base Topps, to Ticket to Stardom.

I would guess Topps dices up the jersey and the sewn on patches go into one pile, and everthing else into another. Therefore, some of the cool base tags get put into regular jersey cards at random.

I wouldn't touch this...

CoolBase jerseys were first used in 2006.

But, one piece isn't usually used to cover all three cutouts. Right?
