A memorabilia card containing a larger or multi-color material piece, whose meaning depends on the exact association statement printed by the manufacturer.

How collectors use the term
A dramatic patch window does not prove game use. Game-used, player-worn, event-worn, and not-associated material belong to different evidence tiers.
Why it matters
Memorabilia wording can materially change collector demand even when two cards look similar from the front.
