[Gara23]

Nice to be able to see that list, oneday i might have them all. For now i have:
#23, #19, #14, #12

[ozballer23]

Couple didn't make the list that I like also

Dynamic dunks
&
93-94 beam team!

 

[Gara23]

Dont get me started, i have both of them too

 

[mj_fan]

there are so many.

94/95 skybox emotion ntense,
95/96 stadum club warp speed,
93/94 skybox centre stage
91/92 and 92/93 award winner holograms should have made the list

 

[Gara23]

Should have just had a top 230 list

man they're some sick MJ cards in that list. im proud to say i have 7 from that list, these ones here:

23. 1992-93 Fleer All stars #6 ($40)
19. 1992-93 Stadium Club Beam Team #1 ($50)
18. 1994-95 SP #MJ1R ($5)
16. 1987-88 Fleer #59 ($60)
13. 1993-94 Ultra Scoring Kings #5 ($40)
12. 1993-94 Ultra Famous Nicknames #7 "Air" ($25)
4. 1986-87 Fleer Stickers #8 Michael Jordan ($200)

im surprised though that linchpins, court masters, golden touch, big man on court weren't on that list, then i would've had more . but then i guess it would've turned out to be MJ's Top 23 inserts instead . man i was also hoping my 98-99 UD Game Jersey would've been there, no good. mite need to pick me up one of them autos off that list one day. cheers guys

 

[mj_fan]

im very suprised 1991 upper deck sp1 baseball and 1994 sp mj1 made the list.so many better cards than those, and sam vincent is such a suprise

I would go for his fleer rookie

 

[buyingstuffformikelee]

That's some list indeed, very interesting

 

[mj_fan]

personally if buying any pre 1990 card i would go with the 84 star rookie.
(1) fewer produced (ie making it rarer.)
(2) officially should be regarded as a rookie as it was jordans starting year, not 1986.
(3) looks more attractive (in my eyes anyway)
(4) far to many 1986 fleer's floating around. a good card but i believe the star card will hold its value alot more.

The guy that paid $82Gs recently won't be too happy if that happens ...personally the 86 Fleer will always be regarded as his rookie card...collectors know it too well to suddenly change

It's an icon of the hobby, it will never change!

i would agree with you, but star screwed that up by reprinting and re-releasing the bags in th 90's with the original printing plates. What that means is there is a ****load of 90s 1984 star cards floating around.

Why isn't the 1984 Star Jordan card considered his rookie card? - Michael Jordan Cards

It says that the 96 Reprint Refractors of the STAR release was limited to 50 but every one I've seen on the bay is numbered to 24 of 50 Can someone explain this?

im not talking about the refractors. I'm talking about them actually reusing the plates to make more copies in the early 90s identical to the original.

Good point! I've noticed that also, what's the story????

Good point! I've noticed that also, what's the story????

the story starts at 4th paragraph.


here it is quote form that link I posted:

To top off the already lower standing of this set, Star ran an unauthorised reprinting of the cards with the original printing plates in the early 1990's. This was not authorised by the NBA. As the reprints used the original printing plates it was almost impossible to differentiate between original and reprint Star cards.

As a result of this reprint most grading companies refused to grade Star cards due to the difficulty in determining reprints. It was not until recently that some major grading companies have begun to offer grading services for these cards by enlisting the help of experts in the field.
