Hey guys,

I got 2 cards that came in this week.

One is of a very very rare Patch set. Too bad the patch itself reminds me of that LeBron Exquisite 1/1 that has been pulled recently. Nevertheless, it is a super card and it was very very hard to get and locate. If there was a kick-ass patch the next time I see one, I will definitely jump on it.



The other card is of a much later released Topps Luxury Box. It is of Industry Anchors set and it is serial'd out of /10. Mine is #10/10. 1/1?? Hell nah....

Enjoy~

Too right mate! The guy from The Netherlands, whom have collected that Patch set for a while now have finally given them up.

I hope you managed to pick up at least one of the KG's because after those ones that was listed recently, it will be quite hard to get once again.

By the way, did you notice the Iverson one isn't of LOGO/NAME/NUMBER? While all the other players that I saw such as MJ, Kobe, KG, Mailman etc are set by LOGO/NAME/NUMBER. Odd....

Cheers and thanks guys!

These look great Hendra! I like the patch alot, it looks to be in great condition and is a true classic. The design of the Luxury Box auto is cool, simple but flashy. 10/10

That's a nice auto, actually looks really decent for once. He's been sloppy with his signings. A bit like Wade I think...

Hey Hen, tell us a bit more about the Patch. It's from UD3 yeah? What's the odds on em?

Great mailday tho mate, an auto /10 has to be sweet!!!! I'm chasing a particular auto /10 atm....

I can tell u - UD put out 3 types of patches - Number patch, logo patch and name patch. One was 1-2500, one was 1-5000 and one was 1-7500. Don't know which one was which. Hendra may know.

Last year they looked like this

with different coloured borders for the 3 different types of patch - hope this helps

Hendra I got none of them - sounds like the same seller though.

gotta love the auto, much nicer than the patch which is a little too plain altho the odds on it make it extremely rare!

Thanks again guys! I, myself also think that the autograph have outshoned the much rarer patch. Maybe it's because of the dull patch that came with it and it is probably my second patch cards that only contains 2 colors but I'm still delighted with the pick-up.

I've actually received another beauty on Saturday. I had to get it from the PO, because it was a Registered Post and nobody was home to sign it like always. But I will show you this card for next week. Otherwise, I might not have anything to show for next week.

Anyway, Al from NZ is right about those Patch Number/Name/Logo.

The number patch is usually the easiest to pull, yet at 1:2500, I wouldn't think it would be easy to pull. Next comes the Name patch, which are pulled with the odds of 1:5000. And unsuprisingly, Logo patch is the hardest one of all, with the odds of 1:7500.

What I'd like to know is why the Iverson of this set isn't set as Number, Name or Logo. Just UD Game Patches unlike the others.

Anyway, that is the main reason why Logo and even some Number patches are always sells with a premium price. I'm sure the other guys here who had picked one of these before knows how much you have to fork out and how difficult it is to find.

Thanks again guys and girls!

Did some research H, the reason yours is only a "Patch" is because it was pulled from a series 1 box. Only series 2 boxes contained the "Name", "Number" and "Logo" patches. So there's basically 2x separate patch sets from 01-02 Upper Deck.
