I Googled these things, and couldn't even bring up an image. I got them with the pictured folder for attending a Bulls game. Wondered if anyone knows if they have any value. There are an unknown number of 'cards' under the cartoon image of MJ.

I know the smaller one has sold for decent money at times(thinking 1k+ at least) and that BGS has graded them in the past they may not now though. Not sure about the larger card with Pippen & Cartwright, I’ve never seen that one before. Both are definitely rare and don’t pop up for sale often.

Found two sales on Worthpoint although I don’t have an account to see what they sold for.

Thanks for the info. We had floor seats back in the day at the old Chicago Stadium, second row mid court, it was a little chilly sitting over the various materials that covered the stadium ice. I really appreciated those times. I knew then, how special Jordan, and those teams were. A once in a lifetime experience. These were either handed out when we came in, or were left on the chairs. I'll have to look around to see if I can find my dad's copy. I'm pretty sure he would've kept them.
Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone happens to have the folder in the picture above, or Jordan's card? I'd be interested in buying either of them.
There’s this one available from a seller on Instagram. I don’t know the person, just came across the listing recently.
If the link doesn’t work for some reason, his account name is onlyjordancards (all one word and lowercase)

Thanks for sending this, Eric. Much appreciated. I never would have thought of looking at Instagram. This is an interesting set to search for and to try to piece together, but it makes for a fun card and memorabilia hunt. Thanks again!
There are quite a few available on eBay right now. A couple are single Jordan and the rest are the entire set, some with the folder included. All of them are pricey, very cool item.
Thank you for sharing these eBay listings. That's the tough thing with this set -- the graded Jordans or the full sets having very high asking prices. So I'm thinking when it comes to Mike's card, I'll have to watch for a raw option that's not part of a full set. There is a raw one on eBay, but it's unfortunately a fake (which is surprising that someone would fake an oddball set like this). It was actually sold and then returned, which I saw in feedback. When it comes to the folder, no one wants to break up a set, which is totally understandable, and so it's just hard to find an option to buy the folder on its own. And I agree. Very cool item.
I didn’t actually search that card on IG, just have a habit of checking out some of the MJ collections that pop up in the feed and remembered seeing it in one.
If you’re just looking for the folder alone, I’d recommend contacting the seller’s of those graded copies on eBay, who knows maybe you’ll get lucky that one has the folder that they’d sell. Good luck.

Ah, good memory. And thanks for your ideas, Eric. I appreciate it, and luck, which I might need to find that folder.
Hey All, I'll add one more comment here. If anyone has John Paxson's card from this set and is interested in selling, I'm looking to buy it. I recently missed a chance to buy it from an auction.
