Here is a fake mikita patch card on the bay right now. From Topps Archives.

My proof......



1) Archives didn't make patch cards.

2) The card is so damaged from faking the patch, it's almost funny.

Hate to break it to you but Archives did make patch cards. I currently have 2 left from my master set and also owned a Fuhr, Delvecchio, and Moog patch as well before I sold my set off. Every thing about the Mikita is consistent with the Archives set including the damage around the swatch which comes from the fact that the memorabilia cards were heat sealed in place and often burned through the rubber seal.
The patch also shows the prototypical formation of the patch due to the heat sealing.

I'm with Geoff from the previous thread and agree this is legit.
