Ed_B Pillar of the Community United States 4008 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 6:50 pm Try a magnet on it. That will not stick to any PM or to stainless steel but it will stick to steel or nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

IC Double Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 8:39 pm Heres a better picture. This is nothing compared to what I found the other day garage saling. I found for less than a dollar a superman patch from 1940 (Supermen of America Stregth Courage Justice). The value of the patch would blow your mind. I see books listing it for upto 8000 and see some sold for close to 900. The patch is in better condition than the one sold. I threw it in a bank safe but before I did that I took pictures and threw it on E-Bay. Edited by IC Double 09/17/2011 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 02:16 am Well done Patch Adams, lol. A 900 dollar patch, nice! I base its value on what similar ones sold for recently and not what the retail collectible books say. And since yours is in better condition than the 900 dollar one, it should be worth around a grand or so, and like Pm's grow in time eh.... IC, I am gonna start calling you "The garage sale sniper" A patch is one of those items that could slip under the value radar so to speak. Who thinks of value in patches, other than boy scout collectors or something? Even though I am sure they are many genres of patch collectors, military based, etc....
