ANS 11 Patches

[BumChex]

Everyone,
I think the patches are the best thing to happen with ANS11. I'm trying to build a set. What are your thoughts on the patches? If you haven't seen them and are totally ignoring this series you are missing out on these. They are the coolest collectable in a long time. Might be of all ANS series. It's that nice. So I'm curious how people are doing to fill the set. I only need Pupsi.

I guess I am not that impressed with them myself. They are so small you can't really appreciate the art and there is nothing really "patch" about them. If this would have been a postcard-sized item with a regular card-sized insert that was an actual high quality patch, it would have been much cooler and worth the price they are currently being offered for. The items I have liked the most since ANS10 are the black canvas-look cards and  the shaped sketch cards (that is when the artist uses the shape and incorporates it into the sketch, rather than just a sketch that happens to be done on a shaped card). Just my opinion though.

I would go for a set if I had the funds but I need to purchase the rest of the binders and some Halloween PC's so the Cap"n Crud I scored for $19.03 will have to do. I think you need to spring for a nice frame for those once you score the Pupsi you need.  Can you post a pic of the cards you have so far together? That would be pretty cool to see.

I have Ajerx...its nice hope to get more..

[Tic_Toc]

Has anyone determined what all the patch titles are, and if any of them are short prints?  I've only seen about 8 different titles on ebay so far...

I finally snagged the Pupsi. I can post a pic once I receive it. Set completed!

I would like to have a Pupsi as well-LOL.

Amen to that John, I did have my 50th b-day last week-LOL.

It's in the master list section that Patrick put together.
Here is the list of Patches.

Patch Relic (Collector):

Title
Gadzooka
Kook-Aid
Quacker Oats
Ajerx
Cap'n Crud
Wormy Packages
Cram
Krazy Crackers
Pupsi


No one really knows what is supposed to be rare. A few dealers think the Pupsi is the toughie.

These look pretty neat but I would like to see one in person. What do they feel like? Are they thick card stock with that ribbed lenticular feel? I tried to zoom in on one and cant really tell. They seem to be priced pretty high on Greed-Bay.

I just got my first patch in the mail yesterday.  I like it a lot, though perhaps I overpaid at just over $50, but I really wanted one.  My question now is how to display it.  It came in a large toploader, but those are pretty cheap looking and it could fall out the side/top.  Does anyone know of a good snap-tite type holder that will hold these really thick cards?  I suppose I could find one on ebay but I'd probably pay more in shipping.  Hmmm.  Maybe I can find one at a local card shop.  OK, I may have just answered my own question.  But let me know if any of you have a good way to display one (or more) of these.

Hope this pic helps.
The patch relics are two pieces of foam core sandwiched between two cards and is about 3/16" thick.
the top pieces have a cutout window for the patch. The patch is cloth and glued to the lower piece of foam core in the cutout area.
Both the front and back of the card have a high-gloss colorful image.

I bought a Cap'n Crud on ebay for $44, and I really like it a lot. Very unique and displayable item, and I'm glad they used OS titles. I may pick up a couple more of my favs like Wormy and Cram, if I can find them at decent prices. I am thinking these would look best in some sort of picture frame.

This is definitely the highlight of ANS11. I will eventually get some base stickers, but I'm in no rush due to all the titles with GPK potty humor.

They are really nice as I said a few posts before. These are the awesome collectables from this series. Forget the odds and variations. Spend your money on the patches. You will be very happy! These are really well done! These remind me of the jersey swatch cards. Very cool.

I agree the patches are awesome. The problem now is that most of the auctions are just high buy it nows. Why should Wormy, Krazy and Kook-Aid
command $100 or more when the others run 60 to $80? I get that Pupsi looks to be the "Rare" one.  I guess its a matter of popularity of an original title also.

Try it now. It just worked for me. When I uploaded it there was a message that they were down for maintenance but the image still uploaded.

Very cool pic. Brad, Thank you for posting this and congrats on getting a set of these.

Thanks! I still think they are the coolest inserts in a long time. I also like the die-cuts. I don't care about the backs and rarely ever look at them. I wish they would keep them all blank.

Very nice description! Thank you that's perfect! So if a person wanted to they could remove the patch? I assume its temporarily glued down? Im not saying I would take it out Im just wanting to understand what Im getting if I am able to afford one. These do look to be a very cool ANS item for sure.

I haven't picked at a patch, but they seem strongly glued down. I think you'd end up with serious damage to the card if you tried to remove it.

I was kinda hoping the patch would be removable, so I could take it out and examine the detail, texture, etc. But it is really glued down good. I guess it was just meant to be displayed, not handled.

I would think of it more like a jersey swatch card. The fabric is not meant to be removed.

Ok that's exactly the impression I got from the pictures. Thanks for clarifying that. It would be extremely cool If they came out with patches like the original ones. Then again I have always been partial to the "odd" collectibles....trinkets, patches, cans, stuff like that.

I was kind of hoping also but these are really nice. It's the best part of ANS11. If I could just have the patches and nothing else I would be happy. I do like the cloth stickers also although they seem to feel a bit different than ANS10. Maybe it's just me. I would actually like a repo original series one cloth set inserts. That would be really cool!

Those are the kind of things I associate with a collectors series of these ANS boxes. These should include a bunch of original series nostalgia.

Here is the complete set.

These are really neat....thanks for posting a picture of them.  Unfortunately, your scan is only thing that will go in my collection as these are just way too expensive.  I might could go 50 bucks for the whole set...some of us just don't have the expendable money you have, bro.

I don't have the expendable money as you think. Maybe its a great mystery. I don't have any more money than you guys do. If Clint and Cardgary can make a living why can't you with just a hobby? You can and it's really simple.

Also, $50 is totally unreasonable. You would be lucky to pay that for one card although some have gone cheaper. I pulled 3 in 12 cases so they are not easy to pull. You say I would pay $50 for a set, well, everyone would!

You just made my case against these "manufactured rare" items.  The whole philosophy sucks.  Topps is helping out the top 1% while leaving the 99% out in the cold.

BTW, you can score some blank back cards for $9.95 a pop. Quick, only 5 hours left on this one …

How are people displaying these?
Does anyone know of a screwdown that would fit these?
They are about as think as 5 or 6 cards.
