arm bands and memorial patches

updated 2/1/19

i collect cards that feature memorial patches and/or black armbands worn in remembrance of teammates, managers, front office folks, or any other reason.
below is a list of known occurrences of these memorials (such as that which was worn for harry caray and featured on rod beck's 1999 fleer tradition card), courtesy of the national baseball hall of fame.  i have left the pre-war era instances on the list because you never know when a conlon collection card might pop up with someone wearing a piece of black crepe.  it's also worth noting that beck himself was the subject of a memorial patch after he passed away in 2007.

i will typically keep just one card for each individual example of these memorials, and i will list the card in my collection with a link to a post over at garveyceyrusselllopes.  if you come across a better example of that particular patch, let's trade.  you will be rewarded.

i haven't gone through and documented all of the cards that i own in this sub-collection yet, so this page will be updated often.  i will add a link to each individual post as they are published.
