Avalanche Jersey Card Appraisal

Peter Forsberg Colorado Avalanche Game-Used Jersey Relic Trading Card

This item is a limited edition Peter Forsberg hockey trading card from the Upper Deck 'Game Jersey' series. The card features a silver-toned metallic or foil finish with a cut-out containing a swatch of what is described as a 'Game Jersey' (or 'Chandail d'un Match' in French). The jersey swatch is dark red or maroon in color with a visible knitted texture, showing some areas where the fibers are exposed, suggesting it's an authentic piece of fabric. The card is numbered '134/300', indicating it is the 134th card out of a total production run of 300, which signifies its rarity. Below the jersey swatch, there is a full-color depiction of Peter Forsberg in his Colorado Avalanche uniform, holding a hockey stick. To the right of this image, a grayscale or subtle background image of another player, potentially Forsberg again, is visible. The player's name, 'Peter Forsberg', and team, 'COLORADO AVALANCHE', are printed at the bottom of the card. A small Upper Deck logo is present above the jersey swatch. The card is housed within a clear, hard plastic screw-down case, which appears to be a standard protective holder for valuable trading cards. The case is secured by four metal screws, one in each corner, suggesting it is well protected from environmental damage and handling. The visible condition of the card inside the case appears excellent, with no obvious signs of wear, creases, or damage. The case itself shows minimal wear. This type of card is a modern collectible, likely from the early 2000s when such 'relic' cards became popular. The inclusion of a game-used material often enhances the value and collectibility.
