Includes a 'Game Used Swatch' pinstripe fragment. Features the Jersey Fusion 2021 All Sports security label and a QR code/hologram on the back for authenticity verification.
Condition Issues
Visible surface scratches on the external acrylic holder; minor edge wear on the internal card consistent with the manufacturing process of 'Jersey Fusion' items.
