ouch.. too bad that patch is not from a Crosby jersey, probably from a spare mid-90s jersey of a no name player.

Worst part is that this was not necessary! It was already a patch card and the one they inserted stinks!
If you're gonna fake a patch at least use a recognizable part of the logo!
He tries to pass it off as accidental / production damage. He wrote: "PLEASE NOTE: The card has creases on the front of the card running left to right. These creases were there when this card was pulled from the pack. The rear of the card shows a small crease behind the patch. There is also a machined imprinted punch mark on the left of the patch."
This seller needs to be outed! Not only for faking a patch, but for doing it so poorly!Last edited by Drewk86a; 04-15-2009 at 02:21 PM.

actually, it looks like a Bruin logo
I have a hard time jumping to fake patch but I have no issue jumping on UD QA, as we know they have had patch insertion issues in the past

not so sure this was a fake patch.
1. there are other Hot Prospects Crosby RCs with the yellow like this one.
2. the creases are not "around the window". upon closer look, it goes horizontally across the entire card. patch fakers do mess up and the evidence is there around the window of the patch but the damage to this one just doesn't match up.
if anything, i'd think some guy got his card damaged in the mail and is just trying to get back anything he can at this point.
EDIT - here's another auction with a yellow patch:
