So many 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan graded basketball cards up for auction today (including a PSA 10!)

It’s one of the most iconic basketball (sports?) cards in existence featuring the best (arguably) who’s ever played the game.

The 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan basketball card is one of the most counterfeited cards in the hobby, which makes getting a graded card a lot more valuable to give some peace of mind.

And to get one with a high grading is rare due in part to its multi-colored border, which can chip easily (a PSA 10 is currently going for $25K plus!).

Here are just five of the high-end PSA graded cards up for auction, which end today. If you want to see more, we gave you a link at the very end to see the full list of cards available.

Nothing like opening a fresh pack and scoring a huge hit – like a Michael Jordan Fleer rookie card

Here’s a tweet with an embedded video showing the opening of a 1986 Fleer Basketball box, which of course has the iconic Michael Jordan rookie card.

Opening up 1986 Fleer Basketball Box https://t.co/9XepXTCwzF

Seems like getting an unopened box of the 1986 set is quite the feat in itself. But to open one and get not one, not two but three Jordan rookies from the box is pretty amazing.

If you check on eBay, one that’s PSA Graded 10 is currently listed for $30,000 (click link to see eBay listing).

A PSA Graded 9 goes for significantly less at $5,699.99.

For those who like cards that are graded by Beckett, there’s a Fleer Jordan rookie that’s BGS Graded 9.5, which is listed for $11,955.

Wonder how much the three that were just pulled will go for once they’re graded?

Happy birthday Michael Jordan – A look at MJ’s greatest cards

For most, Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time when it comes to game of basketball.

He was both an electric player who could make your jaw drop to ground in any given game, and relentless, ruthless winner. When he was in his prime you did not dare bet against the Bulls winning the championship. It is tough to think of a player who instilled as much fear as Jordan, and yet played the game in such a captivating way.

We celebrate Michael Jordan’s birthday by taking a look at some of the must have cards worth adding to your collection.

1986-1987 Fleer Michael Jordan RC #57

This is one of the most coveted cards not just among basketball collectors, but in the entire hobby industry. It is his only rookie card that is licensed by the NBA, but watch out for re-prints and counterfeits. It will cost you a lot to get this card (a PSA 10 card will sell just under 20K), but it is a worthy centerpiece in any collection.

 

1986-1987 Fleer Stickers Michael Jordan #8

This card is an insert, which is why it is not as valued as his base rookie above. However, because many of the stickers were cut poorly it meant that good conditions stickers are hard to find. A PSA 9 will sell for $800.

 

 

1997-1998 Upper Deck Michael Jordan All-Star Jersey Auto #/23

Here we have the first Jordan memorabilia card ever. The size of the patch is nice, and the card is also autographed, which is a plus. Only 23 of these cards were ever made so you can imagine that the going price is pretty high. Well, just a couple days ago an ungraded card was sold for 60K!

 

 

1998-1998 Upper Deck Michael Jordan All-Star Jersey Auto #/23

Jordan’s first memorabilia/auto card was such a hit that Upper Deck decided to do it again. The design is improved, showing a better layout compared to the previous year’s card. The selling price is also a little more affordable, with a BGS 9 card selling recently for about 11K.

 

 

1999 Upper Deck Employee Game Jersey Michael Jordan #/275

This maybe one of the coolest Jordan cards out there, despite that it does not have an auto, nor is it a rookie card. What the card has going for it is (1) it pictures Jordan’s last shot ever with Bulls, the iconic championship winning jumper over Byron Russel, and (2) the card was not sold in packs, but distributed to Upper Deck employees.

 

These are just five of the cards we really like, but of course there are plenty of great MJ cards that won’t cost you too much to acquire.
