I'm so stoked. I pulled this Jordan from a pack back in 1986 when they were still $0.50. I finally got the nerve up to send it in earlier this month. Woo hoo! imageimageimageimageimage

    If you had a Jordan that nice, whether it came back as an 8 or 9, why didn't you have the "nerve" to send it in? Just curious. Great grade though, congrats.

    I had the card in a penny sleeve in a screwdown for years. Prior to that, it was naked in the screwdown, also for years. I lucked out because I had a few cards that were ruined because the corners stuck to the plastic and took some of the color off. Anyway, back to your question, I never had any intention of selling it, so I never really felt compelled to have it graded. A card of that value I worried about damaging in the transition from screwdown to Card Saver, getting lost in the mail, or being damaged by a grader. These are all REMOTE possibilities, but when you're not planning to sell the card anyway, they creep into your mind. Needless to say, I'm glad I finally sent it in.

    very weird..very bad....on my collectors showcase Pujols set, they shortened the card names...especially Fleer...it looks like i have 100 fleer cards, when really there are about 30 different fleer cards from that year..fleer showcase, fleer platinum, fleer premium etc etc.....

    very bad change they made i hope its a glitch....


    PS .AWESOME GRADE ON THE JORDAN

    The Huff, at least in my estimation, is 8.5 material, so I'm gonna give it another shot. It's dead centered with great corners, so the 7 is a head scratcher. But I can't complain. Here's the Huff auction/scan:

    I didn't even notice that at first on the Posada. Weird.

    Damn... $50 raw for that card. Sure is a beauty. And if it had made an 8 holder it would have been worth every penny. Funny thing is the seller lists it as "card is NM". Guess they were right. image

    I would resub that bad boy as well. I'm hoping to get a 7. I don't want to pay $175 for a PSA 8 so a 7 will have to do. ANything is nicer than the PSA 5 I have now. image

    Tombo, I have a 1987 pack ripped Jordan that I only recently submitted. (PSA 9 oc) Sat in the sock drawer in a screwdown for near twenty years. Although I had sent many old and valuable cards (well worn) to be graded, this one I was most paranoid about. I was afraid it would get dinged or scratched by me or PSA once out of the case.

    You got it Mike. Pulled from a $0.50 pack back in 1986. Man if only I'd known then what I know now, I would never have stopped collecting after I completed one set!

    When I was stationed in St Louis in the late 80s, there was a candy/card distributor who was blowing out boxes for 9 bucks - nobody wanted them! No - didn't buy any - did not collect basketball back then.

    Incredible? image

    I hope he keeps the Jordan. If I pulled that card as a kid and still had it, I would keep it. It would mean too much to me. But thats just me, I guess I'm sentimental. image

    Either way, that is one kick butt card, congrats to you!

    Ted, you took the words out of my mouth. Aside from the obvious value of the card, it has quite a bit of sentimental value to me, so I'm definitely keeping it!

    I hate parting with cards - whether pulled or purchased.

    I'm a collector - don't sell on ebay - it's like giving up the family pet!
