One of my current favorite cards is this Javier Baez Primary Pieces Quad Relic card. Since the jersey has some dirt on it, it gives the relic some personality. Also, I believe the blue swatch is from the "C" in the cubs logo. It definitely has the feeling of a patch.
Relic cards are fun to collect as they are usually fairly cheap and I always try to keep an eye out for a nice patch or jersey swatch with dirt on it.
That is a beaut. You're right - the dirt is what truly sets it apart and makes it unique; nice find!
ReplyDeleteThanks I appreciate it!
DeleteYou're right, relics are much cheaper and when done right they look really sharp. That Baez card is phenomenal! Maybe I should look into picking up more relics.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I won this one on ebay for about $8 including shipping. You have to do a little hunting, but I've found several awesome relics for pretty cheap on ebay. If there is a patch in there it might make the price jump up, but I like the relics with dirt on them too.
