JUMBO PATCH! Fake or Real?

mouschi · Oct 5, 2016

The hearts of many Canseco collectors stopped last night when this was listed:

Soooooo amazing. The problem I have with it is that after looking at pictures, all I see are pics like these:

The patch always seems to only be on a green jersey. Plus, no green jersey cards have been made of Jose in recent history. All the other trajectory cards I've seen of his are white jersey. I've seen some really cool patches of it, don't get me wrong, but this seems to be the odd one out.

If anyone has any info on it, I would LOVE to hear. What are your thoughts? Real or fake?

So fake it hurts.

Not real. The elephant patch that was worn in 93 and 94, that appeared on home and road jerseys, did not have sunglasses. That was for the batting practice jersey only, which was green.

The Canseco pic with him wearing it was from 1997 ... getty images shows him wearing that during what looks to be games in April and July. Perhaps it is possible they wore it through a game? BTW [MENTION=6194]Hendersonfan[/MENTION] shoot me your email, I may have a lead for you on a Rickey!

I don't even have to know the history of the elephant patch with glasses on it to know that Topps isn't going to put that on a card in what looks to be a base Topps product numbered to 99

That was was take on it. A killer patch on a card /99. Maybe a /1 or /5 for a patch like this. But someone is going to pay for something that is fradulently fabricated. Sucks indeed.

Well, it's Topps and oddly enough there are a few legitimate crazy patches on those exact /99 cards almost without explanation. Not saying this ones legit, but for future reference you can't use the numbering on this set to rule it out.

Fake...Unless you created it

before I read through anything else I thought it was a mouschi custom and he was staging a rouse

AnthonyCorona · Oct 5, 2016

You realize u actually met Jose, like your bros so any patch doesn't matter.

homerun28aa · Oct 5, 2016

Ouch, that's about as fake as it gets

Not related to topps but Panini did it with some recent Bagwell cards( NT Silhouettes) where the most insane patches were numbered to /25 while the /15, /10, and /5 look more and more plain as the numbering lowers. It's like they accidentally did it in reverse. Kinda killed the joy of landing the lower numbered stuff. At first I thought there were just some duds but as more and more surfaced, in became factual in nature.

I came across these looking at various 2014 topps Patch cards..

Contact Topps to see if it's real..

Good thing the seller is someone who would immediately take it down once the obvious fakery is pointed out. Always nice to see honest sellers who would never sell questionable items, or even take questionable patches as consignment items.
