Silverback53 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Great info on 75th patch. Are they hard to come by nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Just fyi, the 2 details that stand out the most between originals and most repros: 1) On originals, the horizontal bands to the left of the 7 are raggedy-looking and look something like a seismographic printout, with borders that are fuzzy and not very distinct. The single lines at the far left are often crooked and not completely parallel to each other. On repros the bands are much more clean looking with sharper borders. 2) On the 7 and 5, the black borders are not clean in originals, and have spots which deviate away from the border- sort of like drawing a line with a black marker on white blotter paper. Some ink will bleed sideways so the border is not a sharp line. On repros the borders of the 7 and 5 are much sharper and cleaner-looking. I posted this pic a while ago with an original on the left and repro on the right which kind of points out these differences. Originals do come around on eBay once in a while. I've found around 5 originals in the past year or so. Loose, not as common, but they are often attached to jerseys, which may be worth buying just for the patch if they are cheap enough.

Richter9377 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Seems so. I was looking for a long time and other than eBay and expected high price, I stopped looking and inadvertently stumbled into one on a jersey I bought. Unfortunately I no longer have the other jersey I wanted the patch for. Figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimcutta Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Just a head's up, I recently came across a guy who landed a crap-ton of authentic old-stock 75th patches. I bought 25 of them earlier this week, and just waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they get here and I can confirm they're legit, I'll give all of you guys his info and you can have at 'er. Apparently he's got a lot of them, so there should be plenty to go around. Stay tuned! Man...I'm really developing an mo of teasing the crap out of things, eh?
