Not all modern cards are stupid. the Fleer Jordan rookie is one of the most iconic cards of an iconic player. probably the most well known athlete besides Ruth.
The modern market is robust. Just look at auction houses like REA, Lelands and Heritage. They have several listings of modern "crap" that is highly sought after and has a large following. Plus if it's in REA, you know it probably a highly sought after issue.
Just don't understand the snobbery against modern cards. It is possible to like both. they are not mutually exclusive.
Personally, I feel more of a connection to a Jordan rookie that I had as a kid as opposed to a t205 of a player I never saw.
that's why the hobby is so great. there's something for everyone.

Well said, and I'd also add, due to the desire in collecting modern cards, we should all be happy as that is also helping in keeping the bobby strong for everyone.

Wow, my 1980 Topps Johnson/Bird PSA 8 that I bought for $200 is now up to $1200+. That's crazy!

Awesome card, I don't have any basketball but if I did that card would be the first one on my list.

How soon collectors forget...

Look at the Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman rookies. They used to sell for about $10 - $20 each and now they are going for a few hundred.

Last time I sold a PSA 8 Jordan RC (maybe 2 years ago?) it was $1500.....ugh! I owned a shop in the 1990s and had a Jordan RC PSA 9 that I remember well, it sold for $1100 back then! UGHHHHHHH!

This Sticker is the only Jordan RC I saved. At least I got that right!

I have about $2000 total into this one! Yay!

Peace, Mike

I like modern, but i just don't have the stomach for speculation. I bought heavily in high school and college. But I finally decided to stop chasing shadows. Now I can't fathom spending some of the prices running on a single pack.
