Manufactured Patch Done Well
June 23rd, 2008 by AlexIn most cases, people dread getting Manufactured Patches in packs. The one-per-pack Premier Stitchings card in Upper Deck Premier is a guaranteed stinker. However, manufactured patches are cheap to make and seem to be a mainstay in the hobby. Manufactured letter patches are featured in products across all the major companies, so they must be at least marginally popular.
I, for one, am usually against manufactured patches. However, one card in Topps Series 2 Baseball really caught my eye. It’s a manufactured patch card of Alex Rodriguez that features a replica of the commemorative Yankee Stadium Patch that all Yankees are wearing on their sleeves for the last season in Yankee Stadium.
I think its a neat looking card, and would be a great idea for a set. Manufactured patches of commemorative patches of different teams would be pretty awesome. I guess the more successful manufactured patch cards are replicas of patches that actually exist on authentic uniforms. Once card companies start making up random stuff to plunk down on cards, the manufactured patches go from cool, to just annoying space fillers.

I think the manufactuered patches are HORRIBLE and a major step backwards from actual game used items. Why have we not seen a lot more of leather from game used gloves and fabric from game used hats?? Bats and Jerseys have been over produced and are quickly becoming 10$ max in value items.

Or better yet why not make a card that has the logo on the player’s game used hat?? Those would sell like hot cakes!!

Another cheap gimmick to sell over-produced crap to dummies who think that what their getting has any intrinsic value.
