Condition Details
Slight top-to-bottom centering imbalance with a wider top border, minor corner softening visible on inspection, and light surface wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless aiming for a quick flip and expecting a 7 or lower, as grading fees may outweigh the modest raw-to-slab value increase for lower grades.
Card Description
Features Michael Jordan in his red Chicago Bulls uniform, number 23, pointing his finger upwards in celebration. The card has a classic white border with a red arch framing the photo, the NBA Hoops logo in the bottom left corner, and 'BULLS GUARD' at the bottom.
Notable Features
Iconic late-80s base card design from the inaugural 1989-90 Hoops basketball set, highly recognizable and nostalgic for collectors.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be authentic based on standard font styling, color saturation, and card stock typical of the 1989-90 Hoops release, though careful inspection under magnification is always advised.
