How to Make Jersey Cards

Jersey cards are trading cards with important information regarding players. They are made with pieces of jersey, bats and/or logos of the player's team embedded in the card. Jersey cards are made for football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. These cards are collectible and will increase in value. You can make your own Jersey cards and pass them on to your children or share with friends. Homemade Jersey cards may not bring as much value, but they are fun to share your memories of games you attend.
