Graded EX-MT+ 6.5 by BGS (submitted by REA). High-grade example of #101 Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) from the 1984-1985 Star Basketball series. This card, issued as part of team sets produced by the Star Basketball Company, predates Jordan's 1986-1987 Fleer rookie card. The 1984-1985 Star basketball issue is extremely condition-sensitive due to its red flush-to-the-border design. Subgrades are 7.5 for surface and corners, 7 for centering, and 6 for edges. This is a stellar example of one of Michael Jordan's most desirable early cards. Opening Bid $2,500.
