It appears that AB affixes the sticker to the back of the patch before applying the plastic backing, so the sticker is "sealed" in and can't be removed without cutting into the plastic backing.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Voyager2012</TD><TD>I had a quick question about the AB Emblem label on the back of the patches. Are they only on the patches that came out for the last say two years or so? I was wondering if I ordered the ISS Expedition patches say from Expedition 1 thru 22 or something like that would they have the label or just for the recent expeditions over the last two years? Thanks!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Harald Kraenzel</TD><TD>From my point of view only those patches which have manufactured recently (after that specific date they have to put that label on the back) do have it attached.But this does not mean that you will get those e.g. Expedition 1 thru 22 without labels. It depends whether they had to do a further run for specific patches as they were out of stock. Those such possible new patches will have the label also.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Voyager2012</TD><TD>Harald, back when you first posted this topic in January of 2010, what were the ISS patches you got at that time with the labels on the back of them that you first noticed?
