This is like Leaf. Jersey Fusion takes game worn memorabilia and attaches it to actual cards. Kind of a Frankenstein card - but a way to collect pretty cool pieces on a budget. Real Rice rookie + real game-used shield from an NFL jersey? Sure - that’s a cool piece of the best WR in NFL history!

These are essentially very high end nice looking foil cards numbered /5000. Still reasonably priced considering the market for a playing-days Jordan. Happy to add this to my collection without breaking the bank (about $125)

Man,I remember buying these very premium cards at the time, many years ago. They look great with the amount of foiling, color, and serial numbers on the back. I never quite understood the number and patterns just that lower numbers were better. These had intense chipping around the boarders, which made them hard to Gem. In fact, the chipping was so bad coming out of the packs that I stopped collecting them for a long time. More recently as many Jordan and Kobe grails are out of reach. I started looking for other cards that I really liked aesthetically. The foiling on the front the diecut insert gold and the individual numbering still popped out to me. These cab be had a very reasonable rate. Finding one with no chipping in this condition is very rare and commands are premium. But the photography, the colors the foil in the embossing really make these standup.

Can’t go wrong with a playing days KG patch like this! Not a true logoman, a logoman tag - but still very cool!

I was introduced to this site recently. They use a complex math equation looking at the blinded card grade, collector eye appeal and actual grade to determine an eyeQ+ score. Then for those cards that qualify, give you a sticker to keep (or affix to the back of the slab) much like MBA or PWCC ratings - but determined with clarity and transparency (and for free if the card is worthy). Check out this 1937 Jesse Owens Ogdens card which received a GOD TIER eye appeal sticker!
