Pictures from ITG's first baseball product

[hawkfandan]

What is the price point for a case/box?

+1

Any idea as to an SRP?

Look great, but what will be done to deter patch fakers? Any chance of a patch scan database?

We are exploring options here.

This would be an awesome step!
Having all patches pictured on the website would be an A+ innovation!

I think it would be cheaper and easier (especially for the end user) if an actual deterrent was used rather than a database. Something like this:

A nice sheet of plastic over the jersey/patch which would completely prevent tampering. That way you could know that the jersey has not been altered without having to look in a database. You could just look at it, and know.

I completely agree.

So far so good.....

Has the question been answered regarding on card auto's or stickers? Also, either a patch database or an actual photo of the swatch on the back side of the card would be great!

Thank you for posting these!

I just want to echo that I'll be waiting to hear more such as what price range these will run in and whether there will be base to go along with the "hits", but these shots definitely caught my interest until you have those details sorted out.

If you commit to doing this, I'll give you the infrastructure for free and you can get some retarded York Student to scan the cards. Seriously, I can't explain how annoying it is to worry about whether or not a patch is real.

The first patch set to do this is gonna be huge. Nice huge patches go for crazy money now. If everyone was 100% sure it was legit with a database backing them up it would be even nuttier. I know myself and others have been pitching this idea for years now. I remember bringing it up in 05 with all the faking with Prime Patches. It would be huge.

Didn't BG have something that was going to help with this area?
By the way, interesting to see Tim beckham as major player

deja vu

Yes, we will be doing this in future.... but, this thread is about ITG.
I strongly urge them to consider the database of images of patches... HUGE VALUE ADD!

So the cards aren't going to come in slabs? ITG is putting every card in new Hockey release already slabbed and have done it for many past products. Why wouldn't you guys do it for the set?

 

[mancini79]

ITG - Love the cards. The product has some loyal collectors in Hockey, and nice to see them hit baseball.
I like the idea of scanning patches on the website to deter counterfeits. But the problem is that people don't always have access to the web. There needs to be something on the card. The plastic is a good idea, but leave a cut out for those that want to touch the patch. Something similar to T206 relics. But the entire card doesn't need to be encased, just enough plastic to border the card and cloth.

 

[PaulKonerkbro]

Why couldn't you guys be this nice to Razor? They're doing the same thing here...

 

[matchpenalty]

Just don't get why they aren't going to slab the cards. It's one of the things they are known for. Would end all this patch faking discussion. One of reasons the hockey they do is so popular. Why dump that aspect with baseball release????

I think their product that is slabbed is very high end ($600 box).

Should we hold our wrappers just in case of a redemption program?

So if these are $40-$50 a pack...whos buying?

How about $20-25?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

This is our chase element


A patch autograph card /25

The cards you have presented are beautiful.

Do you have authority and licencing to provide full MILB logos?

?

I think price is going to be much higher than that. To me it looks like a pretty high end product.

Will ITG have this set featured this weekend at the TORONTO EXPO Show?

Or at least handing out PROMOS?

Would make the drive and enterance fee more worth it. Bad enough (for newer baseball) the show is 80% hockey related to start.

That wouldn't completely prevent anything, the patch fakers are now spitting the cards where they where sealed at the factory. So all you need to do is split the card and re-glue with a fake patch.
