mr.bill Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Saw this on ebay and bought it since it was different than the one I originally won and looked cool. The guy said he bought it off ebay several years ago . Did someone make knockoffs or is this just a variant?

Rom Hunter Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Looks nice, but it's not original. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291306-odd-activision-ski-patch/#findComment-4277279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bill Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 if someone could recreate all of them like it, I would not mind replacing all of them. the only other fully sewn patches I have seen in the past are starmaster and sea club.

D.Yancey Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I have a couple of these. I didn't get them directly from Activision, so I cannot say for sure if they are original or a reproduction. My guess is that it really is vintage. My guess is that Activision did a very early run of skiing patches. Maybe the very first run of patches they ever did. This may be from that run. I can't prove it, but that is my strong hunch.

They don't look exactly the same to me, but you are probably right. My thought was since Skiing was the first patch ever done by Activision that this could be an exception. Side note: some of you may be thinking that Dragster was the first patch. But Dragster originally had only a certificate for the award. The patch for Dragster came later. Dragster was the only Activision game that had a certificate. It was personalized in the name of the player and the player's Dragster time typed in on the certificate on an old typewriter by hand. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291306-odd-activision-ski-patch/#findComment-4302490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a Dragster certificate? I've never seen one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291306-odd-activision-ski-patch/#findComment-4302722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yes, I have a Dragster certificate of my own from the early 80's packed away in my collection. Here is a photo of what one looks like. This is not my certificate, but only an example. I couldn't attach a file so here is a link to see the certificate.
