What are your favorite Jordan cards that can be found in the junk bins? No fancy inserts or graded holders for these. We've probably all got most of these in a box or binder somewhere. Here's my twenty favorite, in no particular order.

The ol' Sam Vincent #12, great card to tell a story with.

Have to have one of those North Carolina "rookie" cards, everyone has them and they are nice Carolina Blue.

Eleven Hall of Famers for the price of a Big Mac? Yes, please!

Old ProVisions are great, Jordan is flying through space!

Who is Johnny Kilroy?

Love the 90's computer graphics on these old Skybox

Ahh, a classic Jordan owning Ewing card. Plus if you don't want the cheap card, you can bump up to the "expensive" Tony's Pizza version.

I'm a sucker for hologram cards

Amazing that a hologram insert can be under $3.

Slam Dunk Contest

Looks like he's about to crank out one of his two home runs of his career on this one.

Classic Skybox, love it.

These Upper Deck checklists from back in the day had great artwork.

UD's response to ProVision makes MJ a super hero
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47085304274_c9325edb74_n.jpg

Great looking Ultra card, from the flaming basketball logo to MJ going up and over Barkley makes it a great image.

One of the few cheap parallels of MJ with a image of him dunking (over Shaq I believe?)

A personal favorite here, as a big Packers fan, this is the only card I know of that has both of my two favorite athletes of all time.

Lotta good ones up there OP, love those early UD holograms, the first 2 years of Skybox base, and all of the cheap MJ cards in his USA jersey from 91-92 Hoops/Skybox as well.

Gotta list this one though as my all-time favorite bar none: 1995-96 SP base. Even the BACK of the card is fabulous.

And the front is nothing short of iconic.

Awesome cards. MJ has a lot of great photography featured on his cards, some outstanding samples posted so far. I also really like the 94/95 Skybox E-Motion base card, cool photo with the beveled AIR on there.

Some great examples so far. As Abra mentioned there was some great photography on those MJ Cards. Heck, there are so many base cards that look phenomenal with awesome action shots.

That card was it back in the day. I can't believe you can get it for less than $3 now.
