Default Thoughts on manufactured patches?

My friend just picked up a nice gretzkt card. Looks amazing but a lot of our friends our "shitting" on him because it's manufactured patch. I think it looks amazing and all these player worn is basiclly the same thing? If it's not GAME worn arnt they all basiclly the same? Just curious on your guys thoughts? What do you think of this specific card.

I don't mind manufactured patches if they are done well.

Examples like these are where manufactured patches can really shine, in my opinion. Letter/Team Marks and/or manufactured team logos (those seem really collectible, too) are the best examples of manufactured materials. Anything else and it becomes too much.

My biggest issue with them is the autos never look good. The player has to try and cram an auto into a narrow fabric letter with a paint pen and it just looks awful.

That's so true but this one actually looks good? Considering it's on the patch!

Another example of manufactered patches done well. The Pride of A Nation sets make the patch improve the overall look of the card, which is a nice touch.

Better than "Authentic Memorabilia" at least.
