2005 Absolute Memorabilia Collector's Thread

[SeasonsMemorabilia]

Here are the variants that I have in my 05 TOTT Reverse Jumbo collection:

My variants continued...



And here are a couple errors I've come across:

Warren Spahn has three variants, but the off-white colored swatch with the seam is actually a Bob Gibson swatch. I don't know if everyone is aware of this, but if you shine a bright light through these cards you can see a description of the swatch, such as "W. Spahn Gray"... this Spahn card reads "B. Gibson White".


The next error in my collection is the Jorge Posada "upside-down" swatch. If you compare the pinstripe on this card to the regular card you can clearly see this swatch is from the inside of the jersey.


Another card I have that's pretty cool, but I don't know if I'd call it an "error card" is my Hoyt Wilhelm. It is and un-altered card that is supposed to have a plain swatch in it. If you look in the upper left hand corner, you will see a small piece of a patch.

While I had the collection out I snapped a pic of the Ruth BGS 9.5

My dealer friend staying with me this week has just picked up the 2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Jumbo Patch TT-110 Cal Ripken PSA 5 SN # 201 / 250
the jumbo patch is a sick piece of the Jackie Robinson 50th anniversary patch, I'll be uploading a picture in a bit
asking $500 ... PM if interested and I can be the middle man if there is a deal to be made. not looking for a finders fee, just looking to help out my friend and this community
I'm not going to justify the price as correct, excessive or cheap. obviously the price is based on the patch. it is what it is.

Very cool .... " I don't know if everyone is aware of this, but if you shine a bright light through these cards you can see a description of the swatch, such as "W. Spahn Gray"... this Spahn card reads "B. Gibson White".

This was my "learn something new" thing for today!

Sorry…that is a fake patch in that card and it is worthless

not a problem, he thought it was potentially fake of course, because it's not a prime patch and so on, and numbered to 250,
but it's also got a PSA grade on it. so it's up to the buyer to decide if they think it's fake, not up to the seller to prove it's real
it's for sale as is, and if nobody buys it, then he's stuck with it

Not possible on any authentic serial numbered 250 item I've ever seen DLP create during that time period. If it were a "manufactured " Topps or UD patch set (think 2003 UD Patch series) = maybe. But DLP was very specific during that period.

My opinion. I have friends who do customs. 60 dollar Mitchell and Ness jsy. Remove Robinson patch. Insert pieces on $10 dollar card. Try and find sucker to buy for huge money . Use rest of jsy for customs and other fakes

Screams Burge or his ilk

Sorry…that is a fake patch in that card and it is worthless

AGREED

It is a common tactic to get these fake patch cards PSA graded to trick consumers into thinking they must be real. However, grading companies don’t even look at the relic at all, so the PSA grade means nothing. That is a guaranteed fake patch card, there’s not even a sliver of a chance it’s real.
