Back before the Jordan Rookie card really took off I traveled a lot in the Northeast for shows.
One weekend I did a Show in New Hampshire on Saturday and Massachusetts on Sunday.
While in New Hampshire I traded a bunch of 60's Football Washington Redskins cards to a dealer and in exchange he let me go through a large box of 1986 Fleer Basketball Cards he had no interest in and let me take what I wanted.
I pulled at least a half dozen Jordan Rookies along with a bunch of the other key Rookie Cards.
When I got the the Mass. show I threw out the Jordans in my case and sold them almost immediately for 20 bucks apiece. I was happy at the time........but it didn't take long for it to dawn on me what a stupid thing I had done.
