I thought I'd share my Sportkings Spectacular Patch cards - baseball

[mwheeler27]

Hope you haven't gotten the Ripken, if there's one?

However, I am ALWAYS in awe of your SportKings collection!

Love it! I saw the Rose and was close to going after it. I enjoy my licensed collection for the simple fact that it has the players face on the card most of the time but I Have My share of ITG and Sportskings stuff and just love it. Sure the cards themselves could have players pictures (without Mlb logo) or more design but I buy into it more for the memorbilia in it. Great Stuff and Thanks for showing it off!

 

[mwheeler27]

I don't have the Ripken Jr. I could be mistaken, but I don't think he has one in this set. You'd think he would though.

I understand the desire to have player pictures on cards. I agree that it is nicer to have them on there. I find it odd that even the major companies are starting to leave them off from time to time.

No Ripken in this set (looked to see if Belle was lol)... otherwise, great set! Cards look so awesome!

Those patches are insane!! Really sweet cards all around as far as the patches as well as the players.

That set has some great patches in it. It's a stretch to call the Dawson "spectacular," but most of them certainly fit the name. I thought of going after a few, but after seeing the ones you have I probably just would have been outbid. Where did you get the Brooks Robinson? I don't remember seeing that one.

I picked up a few of the 2010 Famous Fabrics Incredible Emblems 1/1 patches when the set came out, but this set seems to have a wider range of players in it and more people bidding on the cards. I picked up my Yount for $100 and my Rose for $168. It looks like our Yount's may be from the same jersey, but my Rose looks like it came from a Reds jersey and yours is clearly from an Expos jersey.

Wow! Some insane pieces there....

You have some great looking patches too! I thought long and hard about chasing those Incredible Emblems, but since they aren't Sportkings cards, I decided against it.

I picked up the Robinson off-line.

Very cool stuff. Would this be your vote for product of the year?

Yes!

There are 256 different individually painted cards in this release along with these Spectacular Patches. There are cut autos of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner and Christie Matthewson, just to name a few. And there are a couple amazing redemption programs to reward collectors as well as box breakers. All on-card autos with zero redemptions inserted into packs is a model I'd like to see other manufacturers replicate.

I can't imagine a non-rookie product topping it, "from a collector's point of view".

Love how the name for the Pete Rose card is just "Rose" lol

[ballerskrip]

Holy crapola, those are truly amazing!

 

[RAZOR-Z]

OMFG

How many do you have out of the 256? Amazing!

Have you seen where the Lance Armstrong with the USPS emblem ended up? Is there a Michael Jordan?

[mlbsalltimegreats]

Awsome Wheeler, How do you find most of these before they even hit ebay? The only ones I have seen are the Carter and Aaron and I pushed both of those on the price. The Carter not so much, lol. Love the collection!
