I had a sealed 1986 Star Canseco Sticker set I ripped and subbed some of the better, centered ones.
Blank backed, same front as the same year yellow bordered Star cards.
Very low POP, typically 5-10 total graded each of 15 stickers.

This thread definitely needed some alternative MJ rookies...
You have most the Jordan's I was after. I picked up a half dozen raw schedules with various rear covers. I've seen them graded whole and also cut so Jordan is showing...not sure what to do with mine but I'm glad I got them when I did.
MMA/UFC Collector here.... Despite UFC 1 having been held in Nov 1993, the 1st lic release was not until 2009... so lots of the big names had earlier, un-lic cards.
Few examples below...

That first year schedule has Orlando Woolridge on the front but BGS allows you rearrange the folds so that you could MJ on the front. I wouldn't cut them, just lay it out to where you get the full length of the schedule laying flat then figure out how you want to have MJ facing up. Be careful though not to crease the paper if you plan on grading them. Good luck!
Got this raw as a BIN on eBay...for $3.83...shipped!
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
Double dipping because I already posted these in the hockey pickups thread:

His officlal rookie is a 1951 Bowman. This may have been released around that time? Not 100% sure when these exhibits were printed.
JD McCarthy PCs are great for pre-rookies.
Arthur
1974 San Diego Padres Team Issue Dave Winfield
That’s cool. Never saw this.
1985-86 Provigo puffy sticker Patrick Roy. When I got it over 12 years ago PSA would not grade them.

How much did it sale for is one of the funniest and most ignorant things I've ever heard.
Oh man, this is AWESOME! Bruschi is one of my 2 or 3 favorite players ever. I didn’t know this card existed.

He's one of my favorite players too! There is another card from 1993. It has the same picture but the back is a little different.
Recently picked this up in an Auction card lot.
Wait, is that a Marlboro Man in the background?

Lefty Grove, Mickey Cochrane, and Paul Waner Rookies
Have been wanting a highly graded 1985 Canadiens pre-rookie for a long time and what do you know, this one even came autographed!

Nice Stastny!
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
That's a really attractive card. Damage on the back?
No. Definitely one of the nicest Caramelos I have ever seen.
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
Picked up some college cards of some Patriots players. Hope to get them signed at some point.

I like the Johnston Cookies Aaron RC better than Topps'...
I never knew Aaron wore #5 during his rookie season.

Really jealous of that Cheevers!
The image on yours is much nicer!
Got the first of the cards signed. Added Coach Vrabel on his college card.
One of my favorite cards in my collection. I got a small box of these Toys R Us cards as a kid.
Awesome card. I’ve never seen it before. Dr. J in the shot makes it even better.
