There are a million Jordan rookies out there and (which sometimes seems like) a million of them are graded 9 or 10. Not a big deal card for me. Yes, he was the greatest basketball player ever. But the Plank has more hobby history and lore behind it. Take money out of the decision and which one would you rather own?

The Plank. And not just because he had a higher batting average than Jordan.
When it comes down to it, I will always take a 100+ year old card, even a common, over one that was issued when I was already an adult.
