Player Collectors; Which Would You Rather Have?

[BigAppleJak]

Just deciding between two evils.

Non-Auto Patch Booklet 1/1:

OR

Auto Bat Knob 1/1

Why?

 

[miguelcabrera]

the patch but only b/c the barrel is from unique. if the barrel were any other product, id go with the barrel.

 

[brouthercard]

Bat Knob with sticker auto.

I'm kind of numb now to cool patches, to many fakes out there.

 

[Jastermereel]

It would completely depend on the total quantity of each available. If the guy only has one knob card, go with that and vise-versa.

 

[Brewer Andy]

My head would explode trying to decide, but initial reaction is that the sticker makes me lean toward the patch, but then again by the time his career is over he'll have far more insane patches than bat knobs.........[cue exploding head]

 

[Fandruw25]

Bat Knob. I don't like the folding cards, they are to big, hard to store and ultimately just don't appeal to me.

 

[Musial Collector]

Bat knob, much more unique, patches tend to be a dime a dozen and can easily be faked, bat knobs, extremely rare and IMO impossible to fake.

 

[Zambrano38]

I'd go with the bat knob since the all star patch is from the workout jerseys, and I prefer autographed cards. Although I think the all star patch is a nicer looking card.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Knob. It's autographed and there are less knobs than patches (I assume)

 

[gracecollector]

Any real player collector knows the correct answer is "Both."

I'd go with the knob, they stand out nice in any PC, and are rarer. But both are sick, sick cards.

 

[henderson939]

I would go with the bat knob too. Like the other guys said, they are rarer than the patch cards. The one you have pictured is way better looking than the book that is pictured.

 

[JoshHamilton]

Patch booklet

 

[heavy_hitter]

I actually bought that patch booklet. I've got five other cards from the set as well.

 

[onionring9]

Best thing about the decision, win-win

 

[ronfromfresno]

The bat knob all the way.......

 

[piggy1918]

Definitely the bat knob. Tons of patches out there but how many products have bat knobs? Plus TTT puts out these booklets every year, at this point they barely seem unique anymore. I'd pay 50% more for the bat knob auto but that's just me.

 

[schillingfan]

Tough choice but I'd go bat knob.

 

[AmishDave]

The bat knob all the way.......

Correct answer.

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

Bat Knob with sticker auto.

I'm kind of numb now to cool patches, to many fakes out there.

great reason


I as well would go with the bat knob. You can tell by the knob as to the use

With patches, there is too much wiggle room for fraud

 

[Phishmon23]

definitely the bat knob. I'm not a fan of folding cards.
