Jersey Card Question.

[RoadDoc326]

Hi, I'm new to collecting and I just got my first jersey card today and I was wondering if jersey cards were actual game worn jerseys or if they were just replicas?

I know this seems like a rookie question but im still learning haha

Most Relic Cards Are Game Used, Yes.

Most? So some aren't? Is there any way to determine which ones are/aren't?

[NyFanCam01]

some are annoying manufactured relics... companys need to stop making them!


read the back of the card :)

A majority of the veteran players are game-used (though some aren't "game-used" but rather from warm-ups). Just about any time you see a rookie jersey card, its event-used, meaning it was worn by the player at the Rookie Photo Shoot.

hmm it doesn't really specify, it says however, "The enclosed swatch is guaranteed by Panini America, Inc." and it has a number 355/399.

Unfortunately Panini does not really specify were the Piece of jersey is taken from, UD for the most part did tell you, Here is the most common pieces of jerseys they will use for Material cards..

Photo Shoot Shorts
Photo Shoot Jersey
Photo Shoot Jacket
Pre-Game Warmup
Game Jersey
Game Shorts
Manufactured Patch/Letters/Team Logo's etc

So unless its specific you can take a wild guess as to which one it would be....You can narrow it down tho...Rookies like mentioned above will most likely be Photo Shoot of some sort since they don't have an Official NBA Game Worn Jersey.

But it was at least taken from something he wore? Really thats all I care about.

Yea that is a Given, Panini Acquired the rights the Obtain Official Material from there Signed Athletes so yes in some form they were worn then placed on a card.

OK good see I was worried there were like knock offs that were just lke replica jerseys and not actually worn by the player
