Thanks!.. Really did not expect it. It shocked me on the up charge email. In a good way.

I haven't checked sale prices on these since I sold my 9 for $1500 back during the Bulls Last Dance documentary was aired in 2020. Just looking at the most recent PSA 9 sales on 130point's website has the last five 9's ending at 4000/2500/2908/2500/2400, This sticker might be one of the few Jordan cards to continue going up in value in recent years where so many others saw a drop in sale prices during that same time span.

I have been ready into it also. Found the research this guy did from this month.

There was a time when I was obsessed with finding/grading a BGS 9 of this sticker and the very few times when they came up for sale they were out of my price range. I even tried crossing a couple PSA 9's but had no luck there.
Out of the 1886 copies of this MJ sticker graded by BGS there are only twenty BGS 9's and just four BGS 9.5's w/ no 10's.

Wow , ok Thanks for the Knowledge on the BGS grades. Might be keeping this one for awhile.

There's got to be a price you would sell it for, right ? $2000 ? $5000 ?

billwaltonsbeard · July 7, 2022 8:46AM

what was the grading upcharge?

Maybe if it hits 10,000$.

From 20$ to75$ for the card.

gobraves39401 · July 25, 2022 3:15PM

Had to share some more of my Jordan's that are coming back.

erikthredd · July 25, 2022 6:03PM

Congrats on the grades! I'm surprised that '88 Fleer got a 9 with that centering unless its just the angle making it look worse than it is?

Thanks. Looks a smidge off centered but the card is beautiful. Just glad I’m getting some 10’s on my Jordan’s. They are stingy with them.

agreed, looks like 7 or 8 to my eyes, with a slight lean to the former

9's on the 90's inserts are still a great grade too. I know from experience that the foil on the No Boundaries is prone to chipping along the edges and the Slick Silver & E-X acetates can scratch very easily. Your '87 Sticker looks pretty clean too then add in your '88 PSA 9 Sticker and I'd be pretty happy overall if this was my MJ sub.

Looking on eBay. The 1988 Fleer Michael Jordan’s PSA 9’s on there look like mine. Most are off centered about as much as mine is. So that makes me feel better about it.

Beautiful card from an under-appreciated and under-valued set.

Its still a pretty clean looking card just a little off center. I cracked this one from a BGS 8 awhile back that came back a PSA 9 even though it has some edge chipping.

This #120 was also a BGS 9 crackout that had three 9.5 subgrades with a 9 on the corners that I was hoping might hit Gem Mint. I do love the centering on it though.

Beautiful cards. I have one more sub left of Jordan’s that are at QC 1 now. It has my All star card in it. Hoping for a 9 on it. Will be happy with an 8 for my collection.

Had another Jordan Pop a PSA 10.had to share.

Kepper19 · October 10, 2022 9:21PM

jkpilot · October 11, 2022 12:31PM
