I know jersey cards aren't considered the coolest right now but there are some nice ones out there

patches, shoes, headbands, welcome. Just NO INK

drobfan8 · 03-17-2021, 01:45 AM

They are wayyyyy undervalued.

Exhibit A.

I think I paid less than $100 for this.

I mean, there are Prizm Silvers of scrubs for double the price. Name: IMG_20201012_193428_688.jpg

Nothing like owning a piece of history. One of these days I’ll get my hands on a Curry...

Thats insane

I find it odd that GU stuff is just overlooked these days.. I used to go nuts over cards for having better patches.. maybe thats still a thing?

Wow! Just Wow! Congratulations on a great looking group of cards.

Chris P · 03-17-2021, 08:15 AM

I'll show off some cards later, but I dabbled in game used memorabilia..in fact the reason why I got out of card collecting was to get in the Game Used Memorabilia. It just became kinda boring because stuff was so expensive that realistically I might be able to add only 1 or 2 pieces a year to my collection. So I ended up selling a lot of my game used collection to get back into cards lol. Circle of Life I guess. But in Basketball I did keep these

Dirk, Duncan, Kidd, Garnett and Russ are all Meigray Certified. The Vince has a Team LOA and the special Game Used Tagging they used in that era

dayrider1973 · 03-17-2021, 08:20 AM

Figured I'd add a SHAQ I pulled a few years back.

Good idea. Game-used definitely doesn't get the love it deserves.

Man I remember when Game Used Cards were considered Grail Cards. I remember reading about them in Beckett and Sports Cards Magazines and thinking how cool it would be to actually own one. I still vividly remember my best friend calling me to let me know he pulled a Terrell Davis Game Used Jersey Card out of 1 Pack from Target. I was beyond jealous. This was when TD was at his peak so it was a big card. Crazy how they went from holy grails to mostly indifference mainly because of oversaturation and also as the years went on more and more vague wording on the COA's on the back

This was my first ever Game Used Purchase. I just wanted SOMETHING...and these were affordable enough at the time. I bought this at a local card show in 1999

This was my first ever Game Used Jersey Card Purchase. This was back in the day when you would send a check or money order out so the waiting drove me NUTS. This was also the very beginning of Game Used Cards starting to become more and more obtainable. I paid $75 at the time for this and thought it was a bargain considering what other Game Used Jersey Cards were going for at the time

This was my first Basketball Game Used Pull and again at the time it was a BIG ONE. I'll never forget opening packs of Metal on Easter Sunday Night and this came out. Keep in mind that this was right in the middle of Vinsanity. At the time it was my biggest pull EVER..and was once a $400 card...the crazy thing it wasn't even a Jersey Card..it was a WARM UP card but back then anything game used sold well especially of Vince

tracymcgravy · 03-17-2021, 10:50 AM

Love these four.

Nice stories! I was the same way when game-used stuff came out. My life goal was to get an MJ Game-Used card. Never thought I'd own one lol

Here are three Exquisite Eights cards. I apologize for the vertical layout, as they really look a lot better horizontal.
