I picked up these 3 manufactured patch cards on Listia recently. They feature Josh Hamilton, Adrian Gonzalez, and Johan Santana. I paid about 22,000 credits for the lot. I actually have the rookie cards of Hamilton and Gonzalez featured on the patches. That's why I bought the lot. I am not really a fan of manufactured patch cards. Unlike, a game used relic card, these patches were made for the sole purpose of becoming part of a baseball card. The patch itself really has nothing to do with the game of baseball. Still, I think I got a decent deal. I may consider relisting the Santana card by itself on Listia to recover some of the cost.
I picked up this Fleer Ultra game used jersey card of Johan Santana on Listia for about 2,000 credits. Listia credits seem to be subject to a bad case of inflation, so that's not a terrible deal. The jersey swatch is navy blue, which beats the standard plain white. Santana hasn't pitched for the past 2 years. He has been with the Orioles and Blue Jays organizations, but has not played in the majors due to injury. Apparently, he will attempt another comeback in 2016. Santana last pitched in the majors in 2013. It would be a longshot, but I would like to see him succeed.
