Michael Rubin offered to pay 150K for the 1st Jordan rookie pulled so he can give it to Iverson, an MJ #57 gets pulled in pack #5 and somehow these guys running the break have already screwed up the order of the break. 🤣😂
I just hope that the person who was supposed to be in that exact spot gets Rubin's bounty,if it was even real.

That 1st Jordan rookie looked gorgeous. (it graded a PSA 8 )

Four apiece of MJ's # 57 and his stickers,all of them looked real good centering-wise.

Pretty cool, thank you!

Would that card have graded a PSA 9 ten years ago?

Not sure but I'd be very happy with that particular copy. I don't know if he actually followed through with his offer but Michael Rubin offered 150K for the first MJ #57 that gets pulled so he could give it to Allen Iverson.
AFAIK the breaker in that winning spot agreed to sell it but who knows what happened in the end.

I'm sure that SCR will follow up on the whole ordeal and call someone out if the sale never goes through.

Here's the actual first Jordan pulled.

That Jordan should be an 8.5 or 9...IMO

A 9 all day for sure
Might have even found its way into a 10 holder in a serial number beginning with 0.

I'd be thrilled to trade my 9 for that 8!!! My have times changed.

BBBrkrr

^^ 9's are the new 7's.

The first Jordan looks more like a 7 or 7.5. The top left, the bottom right, the nick out of the edge on the lower right, the top edge, and the card is slightly off centered top to bottom. We don't see the back either.

No offense to AI but he was grabbing cards by the corners and such. Many of these cards may have been a half or full grade higher if one of us ripped them.

I am pretty sure the guy made a mistake on the order of packs ripped between pack 3 and 4. He seemed confident he knew the order but I think he made an error.

Fun to hear AI talk about his experiences with former and current NBA players.

Thank you for sharing.

Today’s 9s r the new 10s
Todays 8s r the new 9s
Today 7s r the new 8s

…I will stop there. You get the idea.

Isn’t there a chip bottom right blue stripe?
Possible fisheye under A in Guard.
Also, we ain’t seen the back?

You could see the back by typing in the cert # on PSA's site.
