Does anyone know where these came from?
 

I have the card in the photo below. I see that there are a few others with this same gold 1/1 imprint on the fronts. Upper Deck is of no help because they say their database was deleted during the bankruptcy. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9e522a01_b.jpgjordan by Philip Golden, on Flickr[/IMG]

Its an Aftermarket Stamp - these were EXTREMELY common in the late 90s/Early 00s and typically tied to shows / events

but from where

Understand 1999 was the retirement year and everyone tried to cash in. I can see UD not being able to help because this looks terrible and aftermarket. UD must have issued at least a half dozen gold Jordan sets that year but not this.

It’s likely some card show junk or home shopping stuff. There’s no way that is a factory card. The seller on eBay trying to sell this for 30k has steeper dreams than when I buy a lottery ticket. As it’s an aftermarket foil stamp (these never were 1 of 1, they used language ridiculously by playing the line that the set was “so unique “ it’s 1 of 1 in it’s design) as said it was a common hype tool at the time.

To be honest, i don’t think the card realistically is worth a full dollar as it is just a damaged UD common with the stamp. It’s completely a card worth what you can talk a sucker into at the moment. So essentially worthless unless you PT Barnum someone into thinking it’s something.
