I'm not going to collect 2012 Topps except for the minis and so I'm looking to get rid of the cards I don't need.  Leave a comment on what you need and send me something "interesting" in return.  I'm not really concerned about a card for card trade.

 I think my wife's disgust at seeing Danny's hair after catching the touchdown tonight is only matched at seeing Clay Matthews without a helmet during a game and seeing his sweaty mop of hair.

I have collected these for a few years now and I was excited to see what Topps has come up with this year for their patch ideas.  2012's patches have turned out to be a little different than in recent years.  Gone are the All-Star and World Series patch reproductions.  Gone are the team logo manu-patches.  This year Topps went with patches highlighting the player's jersey number.  Here are some of the better patches I've seen on eBay thus far with the Tom Seaver pin stripes patch as my favorite.  I should probably note that all the patches are of retired players in this series.

There are also man-patches that highlight the player's names.  Don't be confused, these aren't stitchings of the player's actual signature.  These are just the player's last name in cursive text.  Here is an example:

And here's Ryne's signature just for comparison:

Overall, with these Series 1 patches I don't think I'll be collecting very many of them.  The player's numbers idea just isn't as nice as the reproductions from last year's set.  Bring on Series 2!

1963 Topps #126 Bob Uecker

And upon turning it over I was pleasantly reminded that, like Hank Aaron, Bob started his career with the Eau Claire Bears in the Northern League based in my hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
