I'm on my phone. Is there just the one scan? And nice card but don't like the player. Can't wait for this to come out

Thanks man. Check the surgery thread. I'll make updates there as I progress along

I love the patch. I think it's a true beauty just not of a player I like

Such a spectacular clean design. These cards are gonna be lookers!

Should be a great release again this year - I hope I'm able to snag some nice Careys!

...all it needs is just a tiny head shot in the top left corner, and that would be the nicest patch card ever produced.

Honestly, I can see your point for aesthetics but on the flip side it would take away from the large rectangle and obscure some of the swatch. This may or may not be important depending on the piece.

My thoughts are this: It's authentic, game-used stuff, we don't have to worry about photo-shoot or event-used or, event worse, not knowing if it came from said player's jersey!

Really - these cards (at least to me) have become less about the player, and more about the memorabilia that's being inserted into them. It's not a "John Tavares" card, it's a "John Tavares Jersey" card.

Cards like this have become a way to distribute absolutely beautiful pieces of jerseys. It's less about the player, and more about the jersey itself (but the jersey is significant because of the player that wore it, so I'm not actually sure if I'm making sense).

No question it wouldn't be to everyone's taste - but I think they look very nice. ITG hasn't done much for Ranford in the last couple of years..... but here's hoping they do in this release :)
