Single Card Mail Day:2011 Panini Gridiron Gear Game Breakers Patch Hakeem Nicks

I don't find myself dabbling too much into newer relic cards like I used to.

It seems most relic cards aren't even worn or touched by the said player on the front. So basically, companies are buying jerseys off from store shelves and cutting them up. That's the easiest way to put it.

So, when I find a good game used patch card for under $5, I am scooping it up. Especially if it's one of my favorite Giants wide outs.

This is a nice two-color swatch of Hakeem Nicks.

 

Back of the card is numbered to 50.

I would love to find a few more in this set of the patch cards.

How many newer relic cards do you buy or do you stick with the classics that have game used pieces? Let me know in comments.
