Let's see, I can have a card of arguably the greatest player ever from one of the most collected sets ever that is already over 100 years old that celebrates our national pastime, or a basketball card from the 80's. Now that's a tough one for me. Get back to you.

Greatest Player Ever could apply to Jordan
Most collected sets could apply 86 Fleer Basketball
National Pastime = no longer applies to baseball
Basketball card from the 80s = not overproduced like everything else from this era

My point is that Michael Jordan is a transcendent figure and is recognized as such in our current society. Even people that hate basketball know/respect Michael Jordan as a player. Even people that don't collect cards might own or buy a Jordan rookie card just to have one....

SHOULD this card command the same $ as a T206 Cobb? Probably not, but I'm a free market capitalist and the market currently dictates both are $750 cards...

For the sake of argument, I am just trying to weigh both supply and demand in coming up with a conclusion. In the sake of supply, it is unclear just how many Jordans are out there, especially NM-MT ones. Let's assume this total # is higher (but not radically) than low grade Red Cobbs--could stronger demand for Jordan cards make this card a better investment?
