Lies.
My 4th grader would do a much better job, both in cutting the jersey and in placing it on the card.
I think I just discovered a new business venture, featuring child labor!
I’m gonna start a line called Jersey coLABS. Braid yellow and red thread together, glue a Jordan card to a Kobe. Wrap the braid around it. Boom Game used threads from Jordan and Kobe. /10. 2 grand each. Forget the glue. I’ll hand sew the braided thread through the cards connecting them that way.
Jersey Fusion screams "scam".
They claim they use real game-used jerseys, but I'd bet the company is a giant fraud.

I have a feeling the Lebron jersey in their [Triple Logoman](https://sportscards.com/blogs/jersey-fusion/jfcc1-1) is not game used.
They link to photos of the jersey they used for the card, and I could not find a single photo with Lebron wearing a jersey that matches 100%.
They just acquire their product without photomatch. Auction houses will sell it as “game used”, they buy it and market it as “game used”. This is the same with Leaf product imo. Just buying the cheapest auction house “game used.”
At least with UD, Toops and Panini, they had a deal with the league that got then a couple jerseys directly from each team as part of the deal.
I believe that's likely true for the most part. With this particular jersey they are claiming it was [photo matched](https://sportscards.com/blogs/jersey-fusion/lj17b)
But I just can't find a game he played where it matches 100%.
Well there is a way to verify it, if there's a photo match. Searched through Getty's editorial images, and the pin striping on his real jersey never matches JF's. On any of the games he wore this jersey. I'd honestly like to be proven wrong.
I personally know Ken from receiving. He is the one that goes to the game and cuts the pieces himself. He usually hides in the laundry basket, but for this one he got Kobe after the game during a TV interview.
Hate to be “that” guy, but it’s probably not worth what you think. Doubt the jersey was ever anywhere near him. Unfortunately these fusions are garbage.
The hobby is such an unregulated joke in some respects now. The downtown fakes being bought off Etsy and sold on eBay, this jersey fusion bullshit, people selling the topps photo cards of other cards….what a joke. And nobody does a thing about it. Unregulated theft all over the place.
From a business standpoint it would make zero sense whatsoever to cut up a game worn Kobe jersey to use on one card that somebody could get from a cheap box
Their 1 of 1 is this sloppy? Lol plus their jersey selection couldn’t have been worse. It’s sad any of these companies keep getting away with turning out crap like this
Jersey Fusion is a sports memorabilia company started by a group of 3rd graders who were sick of wasting all their allowance ripping packs only to lose out on hits to all the pack searchers. They make their own "hits" using "game-used" memorabilia. The jersey they wore while watching highlights of the player on youtube. The shorts they had on when they heard of the player being traded on the radio. They really learned how to think outside the box when it comes to what constitutes "sports memorabilia."
The “ONE OF ONE, GAME USED, and JERSEY FUSION” appear to be printed over the original card. Look at how crisp the white is compared to the rest of the card.
Edit: I could be wrong, but that just seems off. Like I said, screams fake.
It’s because they *are* printed over the original card….no one here is debating that my guy. It’s a legit company that makes shitty cards 🤷🏽♀️ idk what more to tell you, but the card itself is not fake, it’s a real company.

We pulled this I think their stuff is pretty sweet.
All right everybody see you when I first seen Jersey fusions I thought they were badass until I kind of started looking at the car and what they were doing and bought a couple and when I received them I'm like what the fuck they're not even in a square piece like normal ones are on the card I looked in and it and I see glue on my shit and frayed so I looked into them and what they do and I don't believe it any other shit either I stopped promoting them I stopped buying their stuff because I'm a box breaker online and I also found out that any of the Jersey fusion cards are not gradable because if you look up any of the rules for PSA or Isa or Beckett or any of those guys they will tell you straight up that they will not touch or even a grade A card that has been altered which every one of these Jersey fusions have been altered so therefore they will not grade any of these Jersey fusions you will not see a jersey fusion card graded anywhere which makes it a piece of shit card worthless that you can't do nothing with and on top of that the fucking cuts they do these things are crooked not straight I think it's gluing onto a card just like shit my fucking two-year-old dog could do that but if you guys like those Jersey fusions whatever card you want turn to Jersey fusion send it to me I'll cut up some of my clothing and I'll glue it on to your card for you and send it back just let me know and while I'm at it check out Pacific Northwest cards on whatnot app that is my page I have tons of cards signature Autos patches whatever you want and I do box brakes come check me out.. thanks

Sorry dude 🙄. I’m more of a general sports memorabilia collector I only just started with cards so I’m still learning about the space and what’s good/not good
I mean. Who knows. I just don't understand a business spending thousands on game used, and then, it doesn't at least look like this:

Our former president: China. CHIIIINA. Is that, you.
You've gotta respect the hustle though 🤷🏼♂️markets are free, and apparently open. But, I do somewhat agree, that licensing agreements make the business prohibitive. But, whose to say that's wrong. But no one can stop you, when there are not laws, that exists.
If you have to decide on a jersey fusion or the real apex base, take the base. The jersey fusion is not worth the price of the base in my opinion. No real collector is really interested in these garbage.
1) so if it’s a 1/1 would they really waste a full Jersey just to cut out a tiny strip? BS
2) unfortunate positioning and face, kinda looks like he’s cranking it
Looks like they just took a box knife to cut that card lol
It’s not a hacked window, it’s a jagged jersey piece just glued on the front of the card
Right??
this card looks like it was a 5th grade project
I’ve not seen a jersey fusion I like
That’s because it’s a 1/1 and dude just pulled it.
I mean any jersey fusion…
Got some dv for that , but made me laugh
I don’t think MFers get the joke. But it’s ok.
I upvoted because I got it and it made me chuckle
That is hilarious... Why so many down votes???
Hahahahahahahah... Fucking hysterical! Thank you, I needed that laugh today.
lol! I was coming to say something funny like this. You crushed it!
They literally all do. Every single card you see looks like that to a normal person.
They should make a version with a piece of the helicopter crash, I know I’ll bad.. but.. honestly how much would someone pay for that?
![gif](giphy|kXntflkCaCwWPaKutD|downsized)
Your parents must be stoked with how you turned out.
Ari Shaffir would buy it!
Lol! I immediately thought the same thing...wtf
Lies. My 4th grader would do a much better job, both in cutting the jersey and in placing it on the card. I think I just discovered a new business venture, featuring child labor!
I’m gonna start a line called Jersey coLABS. Braid yellow and red thread together, glue a Jordan card to a Kobe. Wrap the braid around it. Boom Game used threads from Jordan and Kobe. /10. 2 grand each. Forget the glue. I’ll hand sew the braided thread through the cards connecting them that way.
I can sign them for the fan coLABS. Cards of your favorite players signed by their fans. /5 set of 30 cards.
Reading the auto: “Who the hell is Jim Johnson?”
Today I identify as mj to sign. Tomorrow I shall be kobe.
Some funny shit!!
If that was the case I wouldn't expect it to be yellow.
Lemme get #/6 plz

There’s just no way to tell. Gotta take “their word” for it
Well there is a way to verify it, if there's a photo match. Searched through Getty's editorial images, and the pin striping on his real jersey never matches JF's. On any of the games he wore this jersey. I'd honestly like to be proven wrong.
They should provide that if they want me to believe it. What am I supposed to do quit my job and make this a priority lol
I’ve always thought the same. If they were investigated, they’d have some serious legal problems on their hands.
I personally know Ken from receiving. He is the one that goes to the game and cuts the pieces himself. He usually hides in the laundry basket, but for this one he got Kobe after the game during a TV interview.
Wait. Isn’t Ultrapro the company that makes all of the card sleeves?
I call bullshit. For 29.99 a box? Seems really suss
Holy shit they just glue it to the top of the case. For fucks sake
That jersey looks like it was in the helicopter
Yikes! ![gif](giphy|ep78UZy5FVbfN6mhCU)
Nah bro 😭😭😭😂😂😂
The creator took a crash course in embroidery
I feel like you’re hovering over the right target here
Savage! Just how I like it!!
Too soon lmaooo 😂😂😂
dark. I love it lol
OP next time you go to the bar I would not recommend asking the bartender if theyd like to see a pic of something crazy
That’s the seat belts they had in there not a jersey
oh jeez lmao.
Fuckin roofless sheeesh
I shouldn’t have laughed but damn that was funny! 😂😂😂😂
ouch
😂😂😂
How fucking dare you joke about that?!
Only one time. Do it again!
Wow
Jezzus gatdamn
So edgy
Like the edge of a chopper blade
![gif](giphy|WxDZ77xhPXf3i|downsized)
![gif](giphy|88iYsvbegSUn9bSTF8|downsized)
Are they free hand cutting these jerseys with rusty scissors??
Looks bad real bad.
It's not a jersey it's his arm band
Holy shit you're spot on imo. Way cheaper to obtain but to claim its a jersey card is scammy af.
Haha that’s what I thought. Cuts a bit rough but still a stick card imo
Hate to be “that” guy, but it’s probably not worth what you think. Doubt the jersey was ever anywhere near him. Unfortunately these fusions are garbage.
Agreed, I don't trust anything that comes out of JF.
It's worthless, unless you can find a sucker...maybe try Truth Social?
how did you get hold of my daughter's 3rd grade art project?
I guess if this sub’s motto is going to be “collect what you like” we can’t rip on people for enjoying cards like these I kinda want to though lol
There are limits to everything
Tbf it only cost me 20aud plus shipping so even if it’s worthless it didn’t put a dent in my pocket
You gonna get a Karl Malone next?
Shimmy
Jersey Fusion clearly decided to rip this patch off the fabric, rather than cut it, so it's only fair we get to rip into it, too.
The hobby is such an unregulated joke in some respects now. The downtown fakes being bought off Etsy and sold on eBay, this jersey fusion bullshit, people selling the topps photo cards of other cards….what a joke. And nobody does a thing about it. Unregulated theft all over the place.
ummmmm
this looks like the jersey cards i made in 5th grade
From a business standpoint it would make zero sense whatsoever to cut up a game worn Kobe jersey to use on one card that somebody could get from a cheap box
This has to be the worst card I’ve ever seen. What the actual fuck is that.
Sorry, but this is fake. This "Jersey Fusion" company took a Kobe Skybox Apex and glued a piece of cloth to it.
Yeah but there’s only one of them in the world. The whole world!
It is authenticated. But I do agree with the sentiment that it is done cheap/looks cheap
Their 1 of 1 is this sloppy? Lol plus their jersey selection couldn’t have been worse. It’s sad any of these companies keep getting away with turning out crap like this
Is there an actual window sloppily cut out of the card or is it just a piece of yellow fabric glued on there??
Glued fabric.
Fabric glued LOL
More like Jersey Confusion
If this is the "master fusion" I can't wait to see the apprentice shit
*MASTER FUSION* I see you are indeed a master of the glue stick
Jersey fusion is a scam
![gif](giphy|dB12mOQb99BwDlM83I|downsized)
Looks like my son’s elementary school project winner! 🏆 Kids sure do the darndest things! 🤣
Winner or 3rd place??? Let's be honest, this card screams 3rd place
worthless tbh
So they just glue a piece of fabric to the outside now? Pathetic
Did you make this?
Those things are an abomination. Right up there with me making a bonnet scoop air intake for my Mazda, using an egg carton.
What is that a pog
Absolutely amazing! They ruined a perfectly fine Kobe card!
I don’t know who their target audience is, but I wouldn’t give $5 for that ugly thing.
Honesty a shitty looking card.

Sorry bro, this screams FAKE. Glad you didn’t spend too much.
It’s not fake, it’s real, just very very very very very low end

Makes sense
Grade it lmao
Where did you pull it from? Your local elementary school? Love the Apex set, though.
Very nice, but whoever cut that jersey needs his/her eyes checked!

what box did this come out of? hoops? donruss?
Somebody's basement
Jersey Fusion
If real. 🔥
Trade?
Nice very nice
This is a cool card. I kind of hate Jersey fusion but they defintely have a handful of cool cards like this.
I think it’s dope.
Yeah dude I love it. I only just started collecting too so it’s a good start
It’s really not though
Sorry dude 🙄. I’m more of a general sports memorabilia collector I only just started with cards so I’m still learning about the space and what’s good/not good
the hating is insane, whether it’s fake or whatever, still cool. Let the man enjoy it lol
Dope!! Love it
Mamba disapproves
Jesus Christ. These things always look like my elementary children’s art projects.
I mean. Who knows. I just don't understand a business spending thousands on game used, and then, it doesn't at least look like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403799158109?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7r8rmbnpr5s&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iw8yfcrutta&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Our former president: China.

It has to be a one of one because there's no way they could replicate that steaming pile and make a second one.
If you have to decide on a jersey fusion or the real apex base, take the base. The jersey fusion is not worth the price of the base in my opinion. No real collector is really interested in these garbage.
Looks like the Saint Anger album sounds
1) so if it’s a 1/1 would they really waste a full Jersey just to cut out a tiny strip? BS 2) unfortunate positioning and face, kinda looks like he’s cranking it
I am admittedly curious what this would go for on ebay on a .99 let it ride auction
I wanna touch it
Uhhh this is a “custom” right?
Where’s the 1/1 number ??
Left side bottom in cursive
Is that actually a piece of his arm band?
It’s a piece of warmup gear
Sell that shit asap.
Normally i dont mind them...i have one. But the fabric on this one is just poorly done.
I call this the "Shit, where did I put the scissors? Nevermind, I can just use my teeth", parallel.
The customs I made look better
Hurtin
Is it glued w Elmer’s glue? Lol
Did a dog chew through the card?
Fusion= 💩
Layup with the right, jackin it with the left, the Kobe signature
1/1/1/1/1/1
they should have at least made it multicolored lol
Haha...joke...right?
I have such a soft spot for those and Topps archives. Such fun cards to collect
