Page 8, It Looked Like What Before Being Cut?


2001 Fleer Final Cut NNO#

I haven't been able to figure out which commemorative patch this came from. If you have an idea - give me a holler.

Note: I've seen three different Final Cuts showing parts of this patch and I'm continually researching to figure it out. I thought it might be related to some kind of soccer event, i.e. The World Cup or AYSO event, but I haven't been able to lock it down. Perhaps it's an Olympic patch? I know what you're thinking: "Why would MLB put on a patch for a non-baseball event?" Well, you'd be surprised at how many special one-time use commemorative patches are created. I've even seen one for The Special Olympics. So not all game-worn patches are baseball related.

Mini Update 12.12.07 - I finally solved this!!! The way I did it was really weird and sort of amazing. One of those 'strange but true' life moments. Check back here in the Spring of '08 for the next update. ;-D


Jersey Prime Auto Cut #09/12
My second cut auto jersey from this amazing issue. The first is arguably the most compelling since it utilizes the very first "hat brim" cut I have ever seen or chronicled in 15 years of collecting Big Frank. It can be seen here. This one has an autographed portion of an Away Uniform.

2003 Fleer Patchworks #089/100
Note next entry this page to see what the source patch looks like uncut.
Note: This is the "home plate" corner.


2002 Fleer Amazing Greats #064/150
This shows the "base" corner. See below to get a sense of what the source patch looks like before meeting those manufacturer clippers.

CWS Sleeve Patch
This is where the "plate" patches come from.
Note: There is a difference in the corners.
The "base"corners are diamond shaped. While the "home plate" actually does look like it - five sided or pentagon-shaped.
