Need some help from the patch police

[bigalbert]

Give me your opinion on this Ripken patch. I am not sure that this was the original patch in this gold card. However if you think that Upperdeck put patches like that in 2000 cards let me know.
Thanks AL

Educate yourself on what an actual jersey patch looks like, once you do, you'll realize that the patch in the card never appeared on any MLB jersey.

Not to mention this guys seems to sell a lot of high end super multi-colored patch piece jersey cards . . . surely, he's not that lucky. I'd stay clear!

the pacth looks weird, has threads hanging out, seller sells lots of questinable patches, and its hand numbered.
Stay FAR away

If they are fakes, at least he is somewhat smarter than Burge.

He is actually using cards that say logo patch on the front or back

He also has 8,000+ feedback with ZERO negs. So either he has gotten really desperate or bought these as part of a collection.

Could it be from the bird on the sleeve of one of these jerseys?

Here's a pic of Cal with the bird on the shoulder:

Does anyone know if it appeared on a jersey before 2000?

From 1995 on

Looks like they switched to the batting cartoon bird in 2002.

And you have been thanked. I never knew this part of the HOF website existed.

Thanks for all the info guys. I could not find a bird with that color legs but sometimes they had special uniforms and logos for different events and wanted to cover all the bases.

even the 06/25 numbering looks fake, or at least very faded.
this stuff is unreal
