Star Jordans are going insane

Even the Beckett ones.

I won't pretend to be knowledgeable about basketball cards, but I've always been under the belief that Beckett was only TPG that would grade Star issues.

PSA has been grading the Jordan rookies for probably a couple of years now.

288K for an 8. Guess the 101 has finally convinced people.

It doesn't feel sustainable, agree.

i sold my PSA6 star 101 back in June (on ebay) for 22K which was a high at the time.
Of course Hellcat (on the blowout forums) is always pumping them up--LOL!!!
At the time i think the 7's were hitting 35-40k range.

The 5x7 Court Kings -- which experts say was issued before the 101 so is his very first card -- is still lagging relatively speaking, probably due to size.

Kind of a strange valuation for this card, no? I understand Star pre-dates Fleer, but the 1986 Fleer set is an iconic set for the entire sport of basketball. The Star cards also feel akin to modern contemporary sets like Panini Elite Extra Edition or other lesser products like Leaf or the old Donruss Triple Play cards if anyone remembers those.

Two years earlier, significantly lower production, much closer IMO to a mainstream set than a gimmicky set with a weird name. Many RCs besides Jordan including Olajuwon, Barkley, Stockton, Isaiah. Beckett got hung up and called them XRCs because they weren't issued randomly in packs but I think the market finally doesn't care.
