I can only really recognize one patch that looks like its in the right place there. The Lemieux. The Ovy patch looks like a Ducks patch and the rest, well I'll be honest. I am too lazy to look and thought the detectives here might know. On a side note, why are Thornton and Sedin on that card? I know its probably Hart Trophy winners but really? They look very much out of place with the other scrubs on the card.

not saying whether it's fake or real but those patches just look funky!

 

[cassijon]

all the patches are ****ed up. if u flip the front layer of both sides of the cards, then the patches will be correct.

 

[kmitchel]

Flip Gretzky and Sedin patches - that might explain those two. The patch besides the Gretz is a Sedin patch for sure.

And if Ovs patch is from a Sharks jersey - teeth maybe, maybe all 8 are just in the wrong place and they should have the swatches from the back on the front and the other way around.

The ovi patch is from a washington jersey. Part of shoulder

Nope, that's a Sharks swatch. Every swatch is reversed as others have pointed out.

lolllllll
Its the stick from the sharks jersey.
Thorton's patch is from a Caps jersey.

Like everyone said, put the front player on the back,the back on the front and everything is ok.

Like the old saying goes, "If it is to good to be true, then it is". I would spend the money, but someone will.

epic fail on such amazing card

 

[iidaemmi]

So here's a question. If Kenny bought this card, reversed the card fronts on either side then the patches would be correct. Would that be considered patch faking ?

 

[numbern9ne]

Looks like they put the front face of the card on the back and vice versa. Because Ive seen the NHL75 Lemieux patch on other cards. And the one next to Clarke is obviously a Wings one.

 

[cardz1976]

That is a huge fail on such a beauty card.

 

[spooner9ball]

I was just thinking the same thing...haha. This is the one chance Kenny's powers could be used for good to correct this card.

Meh, he'd likely finish off his pile of Peca and Yashins with them.....

 

[will-411]

Why anyone would assemble that card, with those 8 players, and think Crosby, Ovy, Gretz and Howe were on the BACK of the card needs to give their head a shake. Or watch a period of hockey...

Too bad it's messed up because the patches are excellent!

First they put the big four on the back and then they put all the patches in backwards.

What a joke. What an epic failure. They really pulled an "Upper Deck" there.

Reminds me of the time I was car shopping and the sales guy was telling about the time when service put the front tires on the back of the car and the back tires on the front. I sez to him, "Haha they really pulled an Upper Deck there didn't they". He looked at me with a blank stare.*

*Okay, I made up that story but can't wait to actually use that phrase for something other than Upper Deck pulling an Upper Deck.

You guys are missing the obvious "point" of this card. You stand in front of a mirror with it in your hand, and you can read the names on the card, and see the patches in the mirror. What other card offers that?

That card is bad, but sadly, not shocking.
