Altered patch card? Need quick opinions
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-Topps-Premi...3a6f20e142
I have looked at others in this series and the patch in the middle seems phony and out of place...plus this guy has a few other mysteriously sweet pieces that seem out of line.
Can someone who is more of an expert give me the skinny...
thanks

IDK, I'm def not gunna call myself an expert, but I think you're ok, I'd get some other guys opinions first though, I'm more of a football guy lol.
But if you look at his other stuff, not ALL of his stuff is patches, he does have some reg relics in there. Maybe he's just a high end guy. I mean his cut sigs are legit, if he has the $ for that, no reason he wouldn't have it for patches.

Though they made a version of this card called 'Premier Patches' it does look like they used patch pieces on the 'Premier Swatches' as well.....At least that is what I can tell just from looking through what's up on the bay currently.

Who would alter a patch card of Vernon Wells?
And then sell for under $10..
I would say you are safe...
