One Card Post- Nelson Cruz Sleeve Patch



A one card post today from the 2017 Hits Memorabilia release. This En Fuego Nelson Cruz patch card is #3/3 and I found it for under $5 delivered.

At first, I was confused about the logo because the Mariners have been using the nautical compass as the logo since 1993 but then I remembered that this past season they wore a 40th Anniversary patch on their sleeve.

  1. Under $5 delivered? That's insane. Congratulations!

  2. $5? Is the patch "game-used" or did they just buy a lot form ebay and slice them up?

    1. They get their memorabilia the same way the Topps and Panini do so there is a mix of game-worn and player-worn items. With game-worn items they include images of the item as well as the MLB authentication hologram on their website.

      They also scan every card before it is released and keep it in a database on their site. This is their attempt at stopping counterfeiters from switching out relics for better patches.

      This is my fourth Hits Memorabilia card, the other three are Will Ferrell cards.
