Big news from PSA on Grading Star Cards

[Rad_Hazard]

This is great news! I had just got my 84-85 OLY Jordan (one of what is considered his 3 true rookies from that set) graded by BGS (literally arrived today) so maybe I'll do a crossover at some point, who knows.

The impact is going to be huge, I think, but not just MJ. Now the legitimate RCs and 2nd year cards of many of the HOF players in 1986 Fleer are going to get into PSA holders, not to mention mid-80s cards of guys line Magic and Bird. The only argument against the Star cards was that PSA wouldn't grade them so no registry sets could have them. Now they will.

Gonna get my Gatorade MJ crossed over...

II hope Adam is right.

I would think they’d grade the 5x7’s at some point as there have never been problems with their authenticity.

This is relatively minor news for me. LOL!

I do remember doing the show circuit back in the mid to late 80's and seeing bags and bags of Star sets for very little dollars. Also remember walking by boxes of 86 Fleer basketball for 50 bucks a box, and snickering that nobody was going to pay that much for "Basketball".

Though I did pick up loads of Jordan, Barkley, Hakeem, Ewing, Wilkens 86F singles at one time for a song... ...Then I probably sold them all off for less then $20 bucks apiece.

Oh what could have been.

Why the hell didn't you buy them all, Dave ?

I believe the consensus is that the Court Kings Jordan was issued before the 101 and is his first card. I expect eventually they will grade them.
