I'm not too crazy about the whole idea, at least in part because I have a better chance of being invited by the Yankees to throw out the first pitch when they celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2017 playoff run than I do of pulling any MLB Debut patch cards (not specifically Skenes, but ANY player), but also because, even though the patch was created specifically with the intention of being removed without causing damage to the jersey, it's still desecration of a game-worn jersey from a player's very first game.
I could have been more specific. I knew what the card was all about and I like the idea. My question was more on the focus on one specific card. The jersey he wore that day is much more significant than a tiny patch on the jersey. He could have saved 50 baseballs from the day, plus all types of things. My question was more about why they would invest so much into a 1/1 card, when there are plenty of 1/1 Skenes cards that are much cheaper. I was also pointing out for those who don't know that there are plenty of 1/1 cards for Skenes.

As for these patch jerseys, they do it for everyone and MLB is rifling through players at a rate never before seen in history. These patches as a group won't be rare. The plan is to keep doing them, which puts hundreds of them into the market every year. If they go 10+ years, finding any patch instead of a particular one won't be difficult.

I imagine Topps would really love to have a type of 1/1 MLB card that has the same hobby heat as a "Logoman" 1/1 NBA card.

They've tried to push the "MLB Logoman" but it doesn't hit in the MLB part of the hobby as much as the NBA counterpart.

This is just musing, though. I have no insight aside from things I see pushed by Topps and their influencers.

The more pertinent question is how much is it going to be worth a year from now? 5 years? 10 years?

The statistical odds that this guy is just in the thick of his 15 minutes of fame vs. becoming some sort of legendary pitcher are ridiculous. Happens time and again. And again. And again. And people foolishly keep wasting large chunks of money on items that will be garbage the next time they blink. Any one of them deserves to be the one left holding the bag at the end of the story. Not sorry to say that.

Ever notice how legendary players just have a certain look about them? It's all over their faces in photos. Call it an extra special dose of confidence and/or determination mixed with something indescribable. Naturally, that's easy to say with the unmistakable bonus of retrospect, but if you go back and take a gander at any of the hallowed players, none of them look like a high school janitor.

SELL, SELL, SELL!!!

Watch the superfractor goldin has listed. Whatever that sells for, I would expect this to bring at least 80% of that.
