    Description

    Found a non-sports card antique dealer near Bakersfield who had a cigar box full of these patches, 46 in all. 37 are now left with 9 sold in the last week. They sat closed in the box for about 20 odd years not being exposed to UV light or dirt, so they are all bright, clean, and pristine. These were worn by Dodger players on their uniforms during 1999 season only. Apparently, the Koufax versions were made for Kevin Brown and Chan Ho Park jerseys only along with some test shots being made according to former Dodger pitcher Jerry Reuss and his heroes patch site. Koufax and Buhler are the toughest to find with Valenzuela being the last one made coming in 3rd. All of these three are impossible to find. Others in the box included harder to find Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Kirk Gibson, Manny Mota, Don Drysdale, Gil Hodges Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Carl Erskine, Tommy Davis, Mike Scioscia, Fernando Valenzuela and Johnny Podres, but unfortunately no Lasorda. About 10 of the others are of the readily available versions found in the range. I only have 3 of the Koufax so those will go to the highest bidders. I am in the LA / San Diego area so if you want to see the Koufax in person give me a call at 951xxxxxx579xxxxxx1975xxx as this is the priciest one of the bunch and the scarcest. If you need any of the other 24 patches, contact me. Will be taking these to shows once they reopen up again soon. When these are gone do not expect to see 3 of these ever again so this will be your last chance to own one. I now have a complete set of 24 but it took me 22 years to complete. I do not know of anyone else who has a complete set. Probably only 20 to 30 of these Koufax patches were ever made and they may be amongst the scarcest Koufax items ever produced.
