Atari_Bill Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I know this has been discussed in the past, but is there any current sources that list Activision patch rarity? I’ve been unable to find anything other than some very old information. I bought a group of 4 patches that I didn’t have any of. Couldn’t resist for ~$25 a patch. I see 3 of the group sold time to time so I have an idea on those. I can’t find any sales of the Space Shuttle patch however. Anyone have info? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Hester Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Part of the problem, of course, is the dwindling number of potential buyers still on the planet. There's less of us every year. *sigh* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckstar Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Nice purchase. I saw those a little too late. Hate I missed it. I still need three of those. I just bide my time waiting for reasonable prices. I just can’t do the ridiculously high prices I see on eBay. About three years ago I bought 11 patches for $35 including Hero and Frostbite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 They seem to be both relatively rare and generally pretty valuable. Not crazy working with a scam auction house pricey but not cheap either. You'll probably end up paying hundreds to gather a near complete set. That said, especially with the prevalence of higher tech sewing machines and such out there a lot of fake/repro patches have clogged up auction listings, so if having the real deal matters, it can be a challenge.

Oh, I’ll never go for the whole set. I could never afford the gold medal and private eye patches at minimum. I know there’s a ton of reports out there which makes it all the tougher. These are the real thing. You can smell that they’ve been in a basement for some years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
