I avoided them
Bad play looking back now.
If the market cools on them perhaps pull the trigger on one.

The market already is well off the peak.

My Jordan Number is the same as my Monster number, which is the same as my Brady, Ruth and Gretzky numbers; 0.

But they're still very expensive. I don't wanna' spend ten-thousand freaking US dollars on a VG Bill Russell rookie!

More people have failed than succeeded trying to time markets.

In the past ten years I have hundreds of MJ's graded via PSA. Many came back 10.

Feel extremely lucky because from the mid to late 90's one of my sons who was around 10 years old at the time was collecting modern hoop cards (as I was into only vintage). Lots of Kobe RC's too.

Also, completed '86, '87, and '88 Fleer sets in high grade, all with great MJs.

My best story was the 'PSA 10 '86 Fleer MJ RC I passed on in 2009 from Steve Hart at the BBCX. Coulda had it for $5100. Felt it was a wee too much $, so ended up buying a PSA 9 off 4SC that had it listed for $2,000 but it was eligible for their annual big 20% off sale, hence, it was had for only $1,600. Big surprise, as since then, they have never had any high dollar cards that "affordable" on their 20% off weeks....

One, and I purchased it 7-8 yrs ago at the Toronto Expo on the last day just before closing time for $5 bucks.

16 graded. 30 more raw. An additional 8 in baseball uniform.
A few of the raw might be worth grading, and the Jordan UD baseball are no longer junk cards either.
