Basketball Cards or Memorabilia

Stunning high-grade example of Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Michael Jordan from the 1984-1985 Star Company basketball series. This card, issued as part of team sets, predates Jordan's 1986-1987 Fleer rookie card. It is a condition rarity that is often found with centering problems and chipping to the fragile red borders. Neither is the case with this incredible gem. Subgrades are 9.5 for corners and edges, 8.5 for centering, and 8 for surface. This is a tremendous example in exceptional condition of one of Michael Jordan's most desirable early cards. Opening Bid $10,000.
