Show your Michael Jordan and ALL OTHER star company basketball cards

I recently picked up this one, with three 9s it seems unfairly graded to me although I don't know Beckett's system. Also all the ones I have seen are pretty much centered like this.

Peter - Nice card. I agree most are centered like that.

With beckett you can only get a .5 grade higher over-all then the corners or centering. So your 7,9,9,9 would in theory net the same grade as a card with all 7.5's. The Jordan below had a 6 for corners making the highest grade possible a 6.5. If you get a 7 for surface or edges and all of the other grades were a 9 you could get an over-all grade of 8.

It is why that Beckett prices will vary depending on the subs. A card with 9.5's across the board but an 8.5 for centering will sell better then a card with 3 9's and a 8.5 even though they have the same grade.

Thx. I decided to sell the card so we'll see what those 9 subs mean. (Listed on the bst)

I thought I would share my latest acquisition here, since the Basketball/Hockey New Acquisition thread is really a Hockey thread.

That is awesome I wish I had the extra cash to pick up another, that card was like a unicorn when I was a kid. Until one day I saw one and the dealer wanted $900, which to me in the early 90's was like a million. I would go into his shop and look at that thing all the time until he sold it. It was in similar shape as yours, that is one card, that condition aside, just having is great, in my opinion.

Absolutely gorgeous Jordan, friend. One of my dream cards, for sure. Great pickup!
