Today's card is from Hits Memorabilia and it is a jumbo relic card of Willie McCovey. I have seen quite a few McCovey cards from this set but this is the first one I actually picked up. I know this is an unlicensed product but really didn't know too much about the company. They share their web address on the back of the card so I decided to take a look.
The front page of the site shares a quote from the founder:
Our goal at Hits Memorabilia is to bring affordable, authentic, highly collectible products to sports and entertainment collectors. Products we create include various sized memorabilia displays, and trading cards. With a concentration on prime memorabilia and authenticity innovation, we have steadily been growing and improving since 2010. Thank you for visiting our site- Gary O'Brien Jr, FounderOne cool thing I noticed is that they keep a photographic database of every card they produce in order to combat any potential tampering with their cards to put in higher end patches. Pretty solid concept in my book as many of their cards have pretty cool patches.
My card however just has a nice large white swatch of allegedly game worn material. The web site shows a pair of McCovey pants from 1972 and even display the label in the pants with his name on them. Here is a scan of the front and back of the card I picked up:
I've steered clear of those HITS. Just leery I guess. That is one huge swatch. I've got a ton of cards to send to you. Working on a 2nd box.
ReplyDeleteI have quote an extensive amount of Hits Memorabilia cards. Many have been picked up very cheap. I view them more as art pieces than long term value cards. They do produced some really nice looking cards, but unfortunately they recycle images more than Topps. In addition the backs all look like a placemat at a diner. Very boring.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'd consider it an off-brand, and as I do in most areas, I'll buy the off-brand if it saves money.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any cards from this company, but I've seen a few that Collecting Cutch has shown off. I'd have no problem adding some to my collection, but I wouldn't pay a premium.
ReplyDeleteTrue story, I'm one of the people who have benefited from Dr. Ogbeifun Love Spell. Dr. Ogbeifun appeared in the middle of my life when all hope was lost. I gave up on life and thought the best way to care for my broken heart. I have several experiences with my husband who have been working with me for many years. I made up my mind to continue with my suicide before a strange spirit. Afterwards, Dr. Ogbeifun Temple, I reluctantly looked for and found testimonials and recommendations for him via his email. He answered and asked me to go away and take my life; he said that my case is solvable after consulting his Oracle. Well, here I am today thanking Dr. Ogbeifun for saving my life and bringing back my Husband. We are so happy today and happier than we have ever been. He also helped me stop my cardiac arrest problem. I am grateful for being among the people sharing this testimony.
