Looking for info on 2002-03 Topps Pristine Patches

[Deadshot]

A few weeks ago, this Jermaine O'Neal patch showed up on eBay with a very reasonable BIN/OBO. While the patch is pretty disappointing, I was quick to grab it because I NEVER see this card. In fact, I can't even find a picture of another copy.

There's no serial numbering on the back, and I can't find any pack odds, but my general feeling is there are only 25-50 copies at most. Has anyone else had any experience with this set? Here's the Beckett writeup for reference.

Can't help, but I love obscure stuff like this.

I checked in with the biggest JO collector I know and he has a copy as well. This website says /25, but I don't know if he entered that info or it was populated for him. I'm not too familiar with TC-C.

EDIT: He said he might have manually entered the /25 point by mistake.

Interesting. Looks like he's got a single color patch also. Wonder if they're all like that.

I found lots of photos of multi-colored patches from this set on Priceguide.cards. I'm not sure how good the data is: you can see lots of photos are of incorrect cards and who knows how many sales are not reported here, if any. Not sure if you've checked it out, but you may find it interesting. You'll need an account and check off "Sales Points" on the sales chart to be able to view the individual sales data and hover over that data point to view the pictures of those that have one available.

Yeah I browsed through some on there, Mavin, and sold listings on COMC. Lots of nice patches for the other players lol. Seems like it's a pretty scarce set though!
