Brodeur Cup Mail

so here we have another piece to the puzzle.
09/10 The Cup has been known to use these patch piece's before so when I saw this come for auction with a hard to tell scan I was a interested. One quick BBM to Andrew, who confirmed what was thinking, put the card at the top of my list.
Here we have another piece of the red rubber patch which I've detailed here:

and

without further suspense here is the card in question:

as always a running log of my past maildays is in my blog, feel free to read and comment!

I like it, nice card of a great goaltender for Canada and New Jersey. Thanks for sharing.

very nice Marty and congrats on cracking the case of where the rubber patch came from.

I had a card with a rubber patch as well from 05-06 Ultimate. I was told by an UD rep back in 06 that those patches actually came from event worn jerseys during the lockout.

Nice card! I have a few Rangers "rubber" patches lying around here. I was told they were Rangers Pre-season gamers... Apparently they used the iron-on patches for a while in preseason games. I don't think this is done anymore though...

Awesome, dude! Glad you've got it and that we were right on the material - while it would still be cool with a red patch, the rubber stuff has more flare and is certainly more unique.

I'm enjoying seeing that collection grow, keep up the great work.

Cool addition. Those rubber patches have a vintage twinkle on them eventhough they are not...:beer:
