Why are Michael Jordan Collegiate Collection/College Cards so Inexpensive?

Norcal

Hello,
I am new to this forum so thank you for having me

So, why are Michael Jordan Collegiate Collection/College Cards so Inexpensive? Were they overproduced?
I figure with all the hype with Jordan right now they would of spiked.
Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

They were college cards produced well after he was in the NBA, 1989 & 1990. For those years, most collectors want officially licensed NBA cards, not some off brand that only lasted a couple years. I'm not sure if I would call them overproduced, in the sense that 1989 Topps Baseball was, but demand for them is very low, regardless of production numbers.

Also most collectors prefer cards with MJ in a Bulls jersey over him in a UNC or Wizards. I don't know about now after we just went through Jordan Mania but for the longest time his UNC autographed cards were pretty cheap compared to his Bulls autos.

Thanks for clarifying, I am actually a big fan of these cards mainly due to looks and the action shots. I guess I will continue to buy them up and will see what happens down the road.
