I have several Michael Jordan posters from when I was a kid. I have a couple of rare ones that I would like some info on. The first rare one that I have is from 1988. It was a Nike poster where he was dunking from the free throw line. It has a silver border on the bottom. I have heard that this is the 1st edition. Nike printed a second edition in 1992, but it did not have a silver border. I have seen where the 1992 versions sell for $20 to $30. I don't think mine has any holes in it.
The second rare one that I have (at least I think it's rare because I've never seen one on Ebay) is a red poster with (I'm guessing from memory) 5 pictures on it from his rookie year. The main large picture in the middle is the EXACT picture from his 1986 Fleer rookie card. This one has holes in it, but you just don't see these everywhere. They are up in my attic. I don't have any pictures of them yet. When I get back home this afternoon, I may get them down and take some pictures and post them here. The reason for this post is that I am thinking about listing them on Ebay. Thoughts?
Edited to say: On the "rookie" poster, another one of the pictures is from his 1986 Fleer Sticker.

To get $20-30 for a used poster I'd be very happy. I had a card shop during Jordan's heyday and his posters were the best selling BY FAR...so if in my little shop I sold several hundred of those posters multiply that by the tens of thousands of other shops that were around during that time and well...you get the picture.
No poster is really "rare" and Nike counterfeits are quite common. just like the shoes.
