Jordan Spector couldn’t believe the counteroffer he received.
His original plan was quite simple. He proposed doing a game-worn relic card project to Philadelphia Eagles legend Brandon Graham, initially suggesting they could use the jersey from Graham’s 200th career NFL game.
But BG, as he’s known, had much bigger ideas.
Graham loved the idea of a game-worn card project, but he suggested using his Super Bowl LIX jersey and cleats — cherished pieces from the Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, which also marked the final game of his illustrious career.
Imagine cutting up a Super Bowl jersey into cards ????

That's exactly what Eagles legend @brandongraham55 did in partnership with Philly-based artist @Spector_Art to create the first-ever Immortals Relic collectible.

It was the same jersey Graham used to decorate Philadelphia's famed Rocky statue when he retired in March.
Spector’s excitement was palpable. “No way!” he initially thought. But that quickly transitioned into asking, “Are you sure?”
Graham absolutely was.
“For him, it was really about giving back to the fans,” Spector said, “which I thought was really special.”
The pair had worked on another collection the year prior, celebrating the Eagles defensive end's game-winning strip sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII.
Graham, admittedly and rightfully so, always wants to keep his first Super Bowl jersey, but the second, he had no problem giving up.
“The first one meant a lot to me because of, you know, me making a play against Brady, and that was my first championship,” Graham told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“The second go-around, you know, you just want to think of others. I felt like this was a unique situation. Something that probably would have collected a little dust in my house. So, the second one I wanted to give to the fans because they would appreciate it even more.”
The cards are a brand new initiative for Spector, his first Immortal Relic collection, adding to his line of Immortal cards, which celebrate unforgettable careers and legacies.
But the cards are not your standard Topps or Panini base cards that you pull in a pack. There is a level of craftsmanship and precision seldom seen in the hobby. And that’s because Spector is not a designer, he’s an artist.

Art has always come naturally to Spector, who had the trait passed down from his father. But when he was younger, sports were not his subject, rather it was Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh.
As he aged, however, sports came more onto Spector's radar, both in his creations and in his own activity.
Spector played wide receiver at Temple University as a walk-on, where he was also a Kinesiology major. He never planned on pursuing art, rather he projected a career in physical therapy, which he even earned his doctorate in.
But throughout his studies, he persistently created, and continued to grow his name in the art world.
“I just continued what I had already started to build just naturally by not stopping,” Spector said. “Even if initially, something might seem like a small opportunity ... being open-minded and being humble about what you're doing can really help you grow.”
“Little wins along the way,” he added. “Little reminders I’m on the right path.”
Once he finished school, the opportunities continued to grow. There were more projects, more partnerships and more connections. And Spector quickly realized this was his true path.
His building blocks were in more traditional art, murals, prints and canvases, which still make up the majority of his work. Through that, the Philly native has partnered with some of the city’s greatest athletes, such as Saquon Barkley, Jimmy Rollins and A.J. Brown.
But by 2020, Spector discovered the hobby.
Inspired by Topps’ 2020 Project and 70th anniversary cards, Spector realized trading cards truly could be works of art as well, fascinated by the small format of it.

He even knew fellow artists who were invited by Topps to illustrate cards for the project, but he wasn’t. So rather than waiting for a call that might never come, Spector began searching for a path to create cards himself. But there would be no shortcuts.
“It took a very long time to figure out,” Spector said. “How can I not just randomly, one day, ‘let me make some trading cards.’ Like, really understand how this stuff works. Understand the hobby collectors and what they want to see, how to get legitimate cards manufactured ... really good quality packaging. So many things.”
He spent seven months preparing for his first project in 2023, which was in partnership with Eagles legend Brian Dawkins, Spector’s favorite Eagle of all time. The project had many “learning steps,” but was a resounding success, and Spector hasn’t looked back since.
He has enveloped himself in the hobby, working with card authentication services such as PSA for autographed editions. Spector prides himself on the manufacturing and care that is handled with each and every card.
Card casings are incredibly protective and the packaging is multi-purposeful, from providing safety for the card to operating as the perfect display case.
“It's all about the experience for me,” Spector said.
Spector’s most recent project with Graham was the ultimate encapsulation of everything he has worked to build.
“Not every guy is going to give up a Super Bowl jersey to be cut up into cards,” Spector said. So, the artist was determined to make it count.
In the Immortal Relic collection, there are several 1/1 cards, including the Lombardi Trophy patch, the four stars of Graham’s captain’s patch (Graham’s favorite card) and the Eagle’s eye.
Additionally there are more than 20 different parallels and nine different dye-cut variations for different game-worn jersey cut shapes.
Spector’s favorite cards from the set aren’t actually even 1/1’s, rather a pair of cards. Graham wore Kobe Bryant cleats in the Super Bowl, and two cards from the collection have the tongue of each cleat in the card, with the full Mamba logo.

Graham, Spector said, is the ideal partner to work with.
"He's just very optimistic about everything,” Spector said. “He's truly the best to work with. And just a truly great guy. ...
"This is very sentimental for him, because it is truly a way to give back to the fans and have something very significant that is historical, that people can own a piece of.”
The majority of Spector’s work consists of Philadelphia athletes, especially when it comes to his collaborations, though quarterback Jalen Hurts does remain the top target on his bucket list of people to work with who he hasn’t yet.
But Spector certainly has ventured outside the 215 as well.
One of the sports in which he has done some of his most creative work is in mixed martial arts, especially and with UFC athletes, such as Bo Nickal and Payton Talbott.
On a recent project with Talbott, Spector embarked on a new journey, creating cards that work in collaboration with anaglyph glasses, which filter blue and red light.
So, each card in the set will be based either blue or red, and the look of each card will change based on which colored lens you view from. You see the exoskeleton with the red lens, and you see the skeleton of the body with the blue.
Just like his Immortals collections with Dawkins or Graham, which have been inspired by past experiences of watching Eagles games, this collaboration with Talbott was inspired simply from looking at photos with 3D glasses as a kid.
“It's all about staying unique for me and just doing something different,” Spector said “I don't consider myself necessarily a card company. It's more of a brand and an experience.”
