Strange patch
Does this look weird to anyone else?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Topps-Chrom...2518.l4276
What part of the jersey would this be from?
My first thought was that it said "dodgers" but that would be even stranger.

RE: Strange patch
if it is real: it is some kinf of commemorative patch
(and it wouldnt be strange if it came from a dodgers uni, as topps always put old jerseys of player with new team photos)
dont see anything on mets patches from 2000-2004 that matches up. so maybe dodgers, or all-star
not an all-star game patch eother

RE: Strange patch
Personally, I'd look at cards from the same set and see if there is anything similar...
Topps will use anything for the "GU" label... Including florescent orange crossing guard pennies, that someone used to walk Piazza's kids across the street one day to allow his kids to get to school safely, and therefor allow him to play a professional baseball game. Maybe this was from an "American Crossing Guards" jersey?
It does look suspicious. And I wouldn't pay too much of a premium over what a non-5-color would ask for.

RE: Strange patch
It appears legit, just unusual. A bit out of my price range for a standard GU, it just popped up on my eBay homescreen today and I thought I'd get some thoughts.

2001 World Series Patch. 'ERI' from SERIES

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

RE: Strange patch
you have bingo
but that is problematic: 2001 was dbacks and yanks, teams piazza didnt play for (which is why i ddnt look at that patch)
since it is 2001, the card is absolutely...FAKE

RE: Strange patch
No other card like that has anything other than either a piece of a uniform or bat veneer. Seller doesn't describe the card & looks scuffed on the surface.
Collecting: Auto's, G/U Jsy/Bat, Refractors, etc.., Harper, Trout, Jeter, Mantle, Rivera, Pujols,Ripken, Griffey Jr, Heyward, Cal Ripken Jr., Posey,
Other Auto's, GU cards will be considered
