the absolute holy GRAIL Jordan card, you'll never believe where I found it!

Hey All,

Can you believe I found this under my bed last year, after cracking it open in a pack 28 years ago? Teenage-me received the pack as a birthday present from my dad. The pack had an insert that I had to sign and mail out. Many months later, after assuming it got lost in the mail (with no internet tracking since it was the 90's!!) it came in, with a note that it had been freshly signed by Michael. The time has come to sell it. Another one sold a couple years ago for 93,000 :o I'm sadly not too involved with the sports world these days, so if you're not interested, please pass the word along for me!

ps - if you have any questions about the card or about my experience with it, feel free to ask me :]

    I can't believe it, especially that you still live in the same house 30 years later?
    Good for you.

    I'd moved out and back a handful of times (college, job, etc), though my bedroom at home still remains mostly unchanged!

    I live in the same house I grew up in 77 years ago.. seriously.

    Very nice card.. hope you get a small fortune for it.

    Thanks for those wishes! Despite neverending repairs, it's nice to have the same house. I'm not too too far from Whippany -- about 45 min south near Rutgers - New Brunswick.
