I bought the 3-card Highland Mint Jordan a while ago - Bronze, Silver, and Gold Plated Silver - when I was going through a little precious metals fetish. The Gold Jordan is the only card I really looked at, #/500. I just took a closer look at the Bronze #/5000 and Silver #/1000.

For some reason I thought the entire set would be numbered the same, but to my horror, I saw this. I was thinking about selling them but now I am concerned what type of bidder would really really want this?

    I guess I could rightfully call it a #1/1 for eternity?

    What I don’t understand is why didn’t the Highland Mint make the first 500 of each the matched sets. The Gold is #390/500 which I would assume the other two would be #390.

    I wonder if the world will end if I separately sell the two 666 cards. As far as I know they have never been apart. I may have to sell them as a pair.

    I am guessing that unless you had to buy them as a set of 3 originally, that those two probably were part of someones set.
    Since there can be no 666/500, the rest of the print run would have no gold version to match up with. I am guessing that number may carry a small premium, but perhaps a few people may even shy away from it.

    I was thinking 23 as well when I scrolled down and saw Jordan.

    I am a uniform matching serial number collector for Steve Garvey. I always have competition for them too.

    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.
