Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15
Recent Sales
Comparable unlicensed 1990s Michael Jordan novelty retirement cards sell raw for under $20 on eBay.
Condition Details
Light edge wear, slight corner softening, and surface scuffs typical of unauthenticated vintage novelty cards stored in top loaders.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. Authentication and grading costs would exceed the market value of the card since it is an unlicensed novelty item rather than a licensed major brand card (such as Upper Deck or Fleer).
Card Description
Horizontal card featuring Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls leaning over a basketball. Text reads 'GREATEST EVER' and 'RETIRED OCT. 6, 1993' along with 'SPECIAL RETIREMENT CARD' and a gold foil facsimile signature over a shiny foil background.
Notable Features
Gold foil lettering, facsimile autograph, commemorative Michael Jordan retirement theme.
Authentication Notes
Unlicensed 1990s commemorative release, lacking official manufacturer logos (NBA, Upper Deck, Fleer, etc.). Common novelty item produced during Jordan's first retirement.
