Could someone please look up the price of my Michael Jordan 1997 SP Authentic Buyback MJ1R. I want to sell it but I just want to know what the BV is on this card. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

You have to be a little more specific than that.

I'll assume it's a 97 card, but it came out of a 2003/04 product? What product did you pull it from and what card is it originally? I'll assume it's autographed, what is the numbering, does it have GU on it?

Stated odds 1:309
Not priced due to scarcity.

Not to sound trite.....but if it is not priced due to scarcity, how are we supposed to " look it up" for you..........

my beckett is from the year 2000. I was just wondering if they updated it. I guess not though. Should I call upper deck and ask them? Or call beckett?

I doubt they will give you a value as well. May want to check completed auctions on ebay for a source of info

i wonder why this sale was never completed... its the same card..

They exchanged positive feedback for each other--so something is fishy about that one--and the fact that the exact same card (according to scanned serial number) was posted less than a week later and sold again.

here is his answer to my email.. evidently he has a few of them..

What's the deal with it being a "buyback"? (I obviously don't follow the modern trends, but reading the description didn't really help me any. )

The card company goes to the secondary market and buys the card, then they get the player to sign it, or they foil stamp it, or emboss it, or whatever they do, and then reinsert the card into a pack from a new set. Some cynics say the cards haven't actually been bought back, but they've been sitting in the card company's warehouse. I don't see the distinction, really, as long as they aren't reprints. UD started this in their 1997 SP baseball product, IIRC, and all the other companies have had a similar program since then, I think, except for Fleer maybe.

There are 10 of them and he has "a few of them"??? Hmmm...

I would say that a buyback, #/10 would probably be in the 750-1000 range. Just my thoughts. The one's out of /23 usually go 400-600, some higher some lower. Depending on the card, the uniform and if it has game used or not.

Edited to say that "Depending on the card" means if it was an MVP or UD issue it probably is worth a little less than if it were an Ultimate Collection/SPx/SPA for example.

i dunno how many there are.. where did you get the /10 info?

You should ask for the serial number and check it out. Also doesn't Gai still put 1st graded on the label if it was the first one graded?
