Collecting Tip
Buy vintage cards, especially those cards in NM shape and get them graded by PSA, BGS, SGC, or USA. A common card from 1960 Topps can sell for $20.00 or more if it is graded a PSA 7. I have seen many top quality cards out there still ungraded that could easily fetch a 7 and you could probably pick it up for next to nothing. - tip from www.cowboycards.com


Frequently Asked Question
What is a Game-Used Memorabilia card?
A game-used (game-worn, match-worn) memorabilia card contains a cut "swatch" of an authentic game-used jersey worn or used in an official sports game or match. Jerseys, shirts, warm-ups, balls, shoes, and even the floor from basketball arenas (among many other items) have been cut up and put onto trading cards.

Collectors have also taken to this concept since most cannot afford to purchase a full actual game-worn jersey themselves, as they either do not have access to the athletes or that much money to purchase them (most start at $2,000 and can run all the way over $100,000 at auction depending on the athlete).

Items are purchased directly from the player, agent, team, league, or from credible secondary market sources (such as auctions) and are thus authentic, used materials.

Usually, card manufacturers will cut the jersey into 1" x 1" swatches and then "sandwich" them between 2 pieces of cardboard. Autographed versions, versions with multiple colors of fabric, and versions with the jersey patches add more variety for those who want to take their collections to the next level.

The bottom line is that these cards bring collectors and fans closer to the game and allow them to own a piece of history.

Glossary Term
Crash numbering (also known as sequential numbering) - Adding numbering to a card front or back to make known the actual print run of a particular set. Cards are numbered in order up to a certain number either by foil stamp, ink jet printing, or by hand using a pen. For example the first card in the run could be "1/100," which would mean it is #1 of 100 total. The second card in the run would then be "2/100." The third card would be "3/100," and the numbering would continue up to "100/100."
