Strange Straka patch swatch plus that the price is outta this world and a +30.000 feedbacker is driving up the prize like crazy for a /403 card!

Where is that patch swatch from?
He ineed played for Panters before Pens but I don't think that they ever had something alike this on their jerseys?

I looked at past auctions of this card and it looks like these two are player collectors and have been buying these for a while. The Straka patch is really weird too. I guess this time h**e really wants it haha

Patch looks to be from the 00/01 Game One Japan logo between Pittsburgh and Nashville.

The patch is from the 2000 game in Japan. I believe I have saw some other cards with swatches from yhis patch. I don't remember if it was Straka. If a couple of collectors are after this card cause of the unique patch the auction could be legit.

Nice.. good call. In that case these guys definitely want it. Neat patch for sure

Sweet Jeebus, I should put my Kovy/Straka up and see if she rides the same crazy train...

Czech player collectors... that's your answer right there. I don't think there's anything funny going on here

 

[gobuffalo2331]

I had no idea Straka collectors existed.

 

[The LumberJake]

less mem. cards to collect means more money for the ones that pop up I guess... You would think they would help each other out a bit though instead having a bidding war every time this card pops up...

 

[WildforCup10]

I have a card like that too, but plain patches, maybe I will throw it on. ha

 

[mralex69]

I know a lot of people likes this set and Czech playercollectors are nuts but that price for a /403 card no fudging way...

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

....and after the bid retractions the card is now at $1.25. That seller must be saying...Really?!

 

[spooner9ball]

Maybe they thought it was numbered 4/03........lol.

 

[mralex69]

And the seller ended early just to relist what a @&"(

This set has always been really popular. CR 02-03 hobby wax dried pretty quick because of these.
