Jordan Card set to be released?

[Strop]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I just noticed this comment in hoopshype:

Upper Deck will be the latest company to benefit from the infinite popularity of Michael Jordan , issuing a card set that features him during his North Carolina days. Upper Deck will release just 250 sets of 23 cards of Jordan in college, four Jordan autograph cards, one replica 1982 championship ring, and two other premium cards. The set could be valued as high as $5,000. Jordan’s 1984 Star rookie card with the Bulls is valued as high as $5,000 in mint condition. Star released NBA team sets on a limited run when Topps, the main basketball card company, stopped producing cards for a decade, making the Jordan card even more valuable. Boston Globe​

I don't know why they can't make a 300 card base set, inserts, patches and auto's all on MJ.

UD's doing another set soley for their lead spokesman? Hmmm.... 1998-99 MJX, MJ: Living Legend; 1999-00 Upper Deck Jordan Master Collection; 1999 Michael Jordan Athelete of the Century; 2007-08 fleer Michael Jordan.... all with jordan in NBA uni's. Love how the statement UD is the latest company to cash in on MJ's popularity - MJ has been an Upper Deck Cash cow for 23 years!
