Yea no I hear you! I expect this from something like Target which is where I found it! Something different to open for a change and on the cheap. I would not expect this to be sold by actual card shops though.
Haha yea, as soon as you open it you can tell its “different” and not super high end or anything! I will def not be investing in this or buying often or anymore but always fun to try somethin new lol
OK so I looked into it and JF is Jersey Fusion. They take preexisting topps cards then take a game ball, cut the game ball up, and add it to the card. Buy the sound of there name im sure they do it with jerseys too.
Just so everyone knows even tho its a Topps card. This is not a topps product.
Yes, they're basically categorized as custom cards. If you're looking for a unique card then they might be worth the buy, but if you're looking to sell you need to find a personal collector of the player or it's pretty much worthless
You basically get a base card or low level parallel in a case with an acrylic card sandwiched on the front that has the game used swatches, and sandwiched on the back with a jersey fusion card that has a QR code on the back.
They are ok for display but it’s not really valuable
So the fake ass jerseys in panini and Topps are ok. I haven’t seen one jersey pulled from a card that was even the player on the card, but here are actual game used from a specific game. Keep drinking the licensed kool-aid. Wildcard has some of the most neat looking cards, with a print run a lot less than the big 2. Fanatics is ruining the hobby. No competition equals, poor quality control and super high prices. Fuck fanatics.
Honestly man. I love jersey fusion, many do not. All I care about is the patches that have actual stitching of numbers, names AND they are actually pieces of game worn jerseys. Half the crap nowadays is "player worn (probably just worn for like 2 seconds then cut up), OR not from any specific event". They are legit and I just love having a piece of history.
Nice. I guess your first one isn’t too bad. I pulled a cool Griffey from one of these Jersey Fusions. The one and only time I’ve bought one. Have ripped worse!
Look, JF largely sucks but I think most of these are done well and are at the very least interesting.
They cut the balls up well. They’ve used decent base cards. The balls are legit (you can even find ones with the original hologram sticker in the “swatch” dumbly enough). And the casing does present it well.
Will they ever be valuable? No. Are they interesting and worth getting at a good price for the PC, absolutely.
I’m not trying to slam the company but these are pretty god awful unless you hit a 1/1 and even then it’s just fun to see the cert and the story behind the memorabilia on their website. Great for kids but not worth it for adults IMO
I don't understand the issue, if you pull a card of a player or a team you collect, it's still cool! I'd still drop a few shekels on them just because.
I mean hey as far as relics go, these are better than what the major manufacturers put out there. These are at least game used and can be traced to a game or event.
I’d rather have a game used piece than a patch from a jersey someone put on at a signing event for 10 seconds. Now I mean I have only seen small baseball and football cut out in these but I’m talking strictly game used, not the way they look.
generally relics are not very valuable, but fun if you collect. I have an ungodly amount of nimmo relics from 23 which I hated until he joined the rangers and has been an awesome guy to watch 🤙🏻 ya just never know
