I love them all! I just really favor the three base set 84-85 Jordan cards numbered 101, 195, 288.

So many nice cards produced by Star, glad PSA is finally on board. They'll move to the rest of the catalog after they get comfortable with the 84-85 set (I hope). You have some nice examples Peter.

A few big auctions of these cards going on now by large sellers on eBay. You guys interested/watching these? Could set some new price comp's.

The 288 is notoriously off center hard to imagine one legitimately grading higher than a 7. Of course 195 is typically not that well centered either, or 101 for that matter. IMO Beckett graded a fair number that had been trimmed to improve centering. I hope those don't get into PSA slabs. The subset cards on the other hand don't have centering issues.

The 1984 Star Jordan 195 USA is finally in a PSA holder too! The centering on this one is virtually the same across all copies, but I have faith in my copy since it's a BGS 7.5 with much better corners and edges than this one, but unfortunately the same centering. I could see mine crossing over to a PSA 7 though.

So far, anyhow, I am not going to cross over my 101 or 195. They are mint cards but for typical centering and I think they would get shot down by PSA.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Same with me, have them in BGS 7.5s and that’s probably where they will stay.

I’ll be keeping mine in their current holders as is also. The value add comes from psa taking steps to reverse a ridiculous policy based in ignorance and laziness.

[Peter_Spaeth]

This is a mint card and unless you trim it (which has been done) it's not going to come better centered. PSA for the man on the street is probably going to put it in a 6.5 or something.

Unless you're lucky like me:



Needless to say, not crossing it.

I love those old red badged SCD holders! Have several accurately graded ones that look cool in that nice clear holder. I don’t hesitate to buy the original red badge SCD’s for Star cards, often at a discount.

GAI is a different story for me, if I ever buy a GAI graded card, I take it out of the holder as soon as I can. They’ve left a bad taste in many mouths from their antics back in the day.

Finally got around getting pics of mine PSA 6
Putting it in the BST section to see any interest.

I have a few also. It was a well-meaning venture that went to hell when it changed hands from original mgmt.

I have a vague memory you can tell from the flip which ones are legit, but not entirely clear on that.

When SCD sold their grading division they sold to a company who called themselves Sports Card Direct Authentic, and the label used showed that name. At first I believe the label appeared the same but after a certain point it became more distinguishable.
