Everywhere I look, jordan stuff has exploded over the last couple weeks. What cards is everyone shooting for, and do we see any value out there in an already hot jordan market.
I have found myself picking up some of the psa 10 team sheets cards and panini stickers. What about you?

I picked up the 1996-97 golden touch last week but I wasn’t even thinking of the documentary that is coming out. That seems to be steaming everything up, told at least what I’m hearing.

I'd recommend getting as many of his 90's refractors as you can before they get to a place where you can't afford them. I've been stashing up on them for a while now!
i follow the MJ exquisite market. things have gotten to the point where i can't afford most of the cards though. should be interesting to see what happens over the next 4-5 weeks with the last dance starting soon.

My recommendation is to scoop up ungraded high end base cards (Finest, Chrome, Bowman’s Best, SPx, Flair, EX-2000/1 featuring him in a Bulls uni and any parallel or low to mid end insert from 95-99. I see that market exploding, since the price points are appealing to collectors on a budget and casual fans alike.

You mentioned "good value". Not sure that exists at the moment :D
Actually the one card that still hasn't exploded, not because I have it and it's my avatar, but is his xrc. I mean his 1988 sticker psa 10 sells for 10k, but his xrc bgs 8.5 remains on the market 10k OBO!? :doh:

The great thing about 90s MJ is that just about all of the base looks really awesome. Either great design or great photography. Look at Collector's Choice. A set intended for kids, but has better photography than anything Panini has ever put out.

Most of the cards I buy anymore are slabbed, especially non-auto cards, for a couple reasons, primarily because if I am spending good money on something I want it to be top form, and not just something to fill space in an album or long box. Plus, I don’t trust my grading eye on a lot of raw listings I see on eBay.
Doesn’t take away from my desire to collect jordan stuff, or to know what fellow collectors are seeing out there that hasn’t got out of hand yet.

I scooped a PSA 9 for $70 a few weeks ago before he started going up.
I love that set.
I was a kid and was at Books-a-Million one day with my mom and was checking out the cards. They had this weird basketball shape thing with like 100 cards in it and the top card that you could see was Penny Hardaway RC Refractor!! It was $4.99. That card booked for $300 then, when all we had was Beckett. I ran with it to my mom and was like PLEASE PLEASE buy this for me lol. I was 8 years old. Probably the biggest steal I've ever gotten to this day.

I think any MJ base card that has a 'iconic' parallel are good candidates for huge gains. Showcase has Legacy parallels. Also I think the earlier the better. So '96-97 Showcase over '97-98.

I always keep an eye on his 93/94 Ultra Scoring Kings and snap up a bargain one whenever I see it, but they seem to consistently be going for 400-500 USD right now, sometimes higher, for ungraded. Mine are ungraded since I hate slabbed cards, but looking at them they're in the kind of condition easily selling for 500+ right now, which to me is crazy - they're pieces of cardboard, and there's loads of them out there.
Not to mention the Retro Scoring Kings which I've been after for ages, but they're being listed for well over $1000 USD now. So not for me I don't think :D

A month ago, I would look suspiciously at someone paying $50 for any of these base cards. There are some nice base cards, and in premium condition, I can understand a bit of a higher price, but I have no intention of chasing and Jordan base cards (excluding 87/88, 88/89 fleer), that go above $100 or aren't part of some limited release (e.g., finite, exquisite).

I submitted a 1 touch and a top loader to PSA for grading prior to the shutdown due to the virus. You think they will take it seriously? lol :D:D:D

In all seriousness, avoid buying into pump and dump train.

I had the chance to buy one about 8 years ago, ungraded. Lokked like a 9, 8.5 at worst. Guy wanted 10k which I didn´t have on hand.
Asked him to wait a few days, he couldn´t wait, ended up putting it on german ebay with no exposure to US bidders and listed under hockey cards. Card sold for about 9k :doh:

My answer to the original question posed in this thread is that MJ Topps Chrome cards seem under-valued (yes, I own a handful).
With LBJ Prizm and Chrome cards so on-fire, it seems obvious that MJ's Chrome offerings (more scarce than Prizm) will see a natural bump at some point. That point might be...soon?

Well, that's over.
Believe $5,434 is an all-time high for that card. By a lot.
I used to own an 8. It got reslabbed by PSA and got some residue in the case which caused damage. I got that card reslabbed again it got bumped to a 7. This was all at the lowest of low points for Jordan rookies/cards in early 2010s, and I think I got about $800/$900 total. I planned on getting a 9 which sat under $2k at the time and never did. Needless to say a bad move.
All that said, anyone buying PSA 8 Jordan’s at 5500 are going to get raked over the coals. When I was looking to add a Jordan a few months ago I pondered a PSA 9 Jordan rookie but felt it was still too high. We went through a Jordan rookie pump before, and they came down substantially again (though not to same levels). The card is simply too available and plentiful to sustain 8 prices at that level. Once the doc has come and gone and a new season comes later this fall there will be deflation in the prices. If your in for the flip, now is the time to strike, if your in for the long haul, it doesn’t make sense to buy in this market.

Agree. Two weeks ago the going rate was about $3,250. Some give/take based on centering. Once this peak rocks back, and it will when the doc ends and real basketball is back, probably $4k?
I've been through 7s, 8s, and 9s in each of the big 3s holders. Through fazes of liking the black border of an SGC slab, the uber protection of the a BGS slab, and settling on the PSA. Couldn't justify holding a 9 when I found an 8 with perfect register. Two kids in college and a third headed there. Real life. Where I've sat for a bit and will stay.
The 1987 on the other hand, I think that one has been under priced for a while. Eights at $300 seems reasonable to me. Even $400.

Or the people that would incessantly defend those sales here and elsewhere, saying everyone was a fool for questioning them? Pepperidge Farm remembers....

I think 8s will be sub 4K. Back in feb I was pondering a Lebron Chrome refractor and a Jordan 1987 Fleer rookie (which I need to replace some day). I ultimately decided to go with a star 101 8.5 when I pulled the trigger. I felt the price relative to the other two options was better. The grade was closer to “elite” for that card, they are more scarce by comparison, and they did not see the drastic run up to the same level of precipitous rise over a short period as the Fleer and TC refractor did.
When assets move like cryptocurrency, especially cards that are always widely available to acquire, its only natural that they would have similar downside price risk eventually.

I think demand is going to simmer down either 2-3 months after the doc or once the NBA starts again (whichever happens first).

Not a big Jordan collector but I would always send in some here and there when I submitted for grading. I kept one of every PSA 10 and would sell the dupes and PSA 9's. So I'm sitting on 22 different PSA 10's base and inserts from 1991 to 1999....nothing super special. 96 SPx RB1, H1 and #8 as well as the 92 McDonald's CH4 and 96 SC Top Crop. Those are probably the best of the lot.
I also put together complete 86 fleer sticker sets in PSA 6, 7, 8(2) and 9. The 9 set is still incomplete as I haven't got the Jabbar yet.
I'm trying to find a good reason NOT to sell these Jordans at the prices they are bringing. I don't see where it's not possible to replace them down the road if I really wanted them back most likely at half of what they are bringing today...or at least 75%.

I said I would sell this card if it hit $1000 for a nice raw copy, and buy vintage graded. I looked on ebay completed listings and an Australian seller got $1025 for his ungraded nice copy. I can't sell it though, because I PC Michael Jordan and this card is a classic insert. I'd rather have it than what I was going to buy. Damn sentimental feelings kicked in.

If your in for the flip, now is the time to strike, if your in for the long haul, it doesn’t make sense to buy in this market.

The thing that's a little different here is that the entire market is trending upwards and has been for a while. IMO Jordan stuff, especially his RC have actually been somewhat stagnant relative to what we've seen from LeBron, Luka, Zion, etc. Obviously there's a big pump going on here, but when you look at PSA 10 LeBron TCs and Giannis PSA 10 Prizms, once the pump subsided, they still held 80% of their value. With an iconic card like Jordan's I don't see anything different happening.

A blind person can see that prices are inflated w/ FOMO and the excitement of the doc. And everyone is sure that the prices will settle after the doc is over, but when will his stuff peak during this process? The day after Episode 1 & 2? OR not until the doc is nearing the end? Thoughts?

Picked up a large basketball lot a few years ago and it had a couple boxes of MJ, even his rookie sticker. Almost gave it up to another Blowout member for football but had my family in town and decided to keep it.
The oversized oddball stuff that is in his baseball uniform, I'll have to check on, but I'm not sure about the Wheaties boxes of him pictured on it are exploding?

I've picked up a BGS 9 Net Rageous a few days ago, which I'm very happy about, plus I've purchased a very nice lot yesterday from a local guy, and I think it was a steal as well (I've paid $680 for the 5 cards below):
1 x BGS 9.5 N-Tense
1 x BGS 9 N-Tense (True Mint with 9.5 on Centering)
1 x 93-94 Finest base (raw)
1 x 95-96 Beam Team Die Cut (raw)
1 x RockStars non refractor (raw)
All raw cards are in perfect condition, I'll get all 3 graded once PSA/Beckett will open again. He told me, that he is aware of eBay prices, but he just doesn't think that any of these are real, and he thinks that this is the real value of the cards.
I didn't plan to spend more right now, but the same guy who I've bought my Net Rageour from just contacted me and offered a BGS 9.5 97-98 Planet Metal for $1.4K instead of his original $1.5K listing price. It's very tempting seeing the other prices, especially the price of the the Metal Universe base...

Yes the whole asset class is over valued. When the general accepted point of view is that every sale is higher than the last, that cycle will have to break. Should jordAn RC price be up given the spike in Lebron TC? Maybe it’s reasonable to assume so. But there seems to be a cyclical reference here. First Kobe stuff spiked with his death, and people said his stuff was undervalued. Then the argument was Lebron was undervalued relative to Kobe and others and that caused a spike. Now Jordan is undervalued relative to Lebron. I see threads saying - well with Jordan rise in price is Kobe next?
When does that pattern end? I’m not saying prices will crash, I’m not saying money can’t be made or there is no legitimate sales. But, I’d love to know how many legit collectors are buying 2500 metal base cards or 5500 PSA 8s.

I always follow trends to see what cards to avoid buying for my collection. With Kobe's demise and all this Prizm/Topps hype I wanted to pick up some Fleer Metal Jordan stuff as they seemed off the radar. Etched cards are my favorites after holograms. I guess it was obvious for everybody. Maybe some of the price increase is organic.

There are more collectors now and most of them spend in the $1K-5K range. With more collectors and more disposable income, I am afraid this will continue until most of the cards go past $1000. We are not there yet! There are still many LeBron RC's and Jordan inserts that are available for less than $1000. The collector base and spending threshold will continue to increase in the long run imo. We may see dips here and there but the prices will go up in the long run similar to stock market. This is my prediction and I could be wrong.

Agreed, I don't think we will see prices ever return back to what we knew as "normal". As prices continue to rise, the spike will move into the older 90's and 2000's wax as people try to "hunt" for the Jordan and Kobe inserts. At this point I think hitting any Jordan or Kobe, even base will be considered a "solid hit". I'm already seeing a spike in wax prices. I picked up a box of 1995 Finest Series 2 about 2 months ago and flipped it for 4x the amount I paid not even 2 weeks after my purchase. The entire hobby is going to an insane level, and I do think it's kind of sad that it will get to the point where alot of people won't even be able to stay in the hobby due to the crazy prices.

Do asset prices increase over time? Of course, most do. But like you said "like the stock market". The market has cycles and corrections - always, its unavoidable and guaranteed. Look at the stock market volatility we are in right now, massive upswings followed by similar downswings. There are simply no asset classes that just go up continuously. When we are seeing 300% price increases over the course of a few days it is way to simple to say "more collectors".
I would guess on average, people who collect probably have higher income levels than the broader average income, but still are those that do have 5k to spend on cards spending all of their budget on Jordan base cards?
After you get beyond a certain price point, I think the collector pool tends to shrink substantially and these cards tend to trade hands between a select group of collectors, especially in basketball. It's just my opinion, but I don't think we will be seeing $5.5k+ PSA 8 RCs or $2500+ fleer metal base cards in 6 months from now.

I think the 97 Fleer Metal is ridiculous at the level it is right now.
But I think it deserves it's place as a card most will want to own. It was $60 and I think raw $100 would be ok. You can decide if you want one or not at that price. But $1k and above is a joke.

I am talking about the general public of BO. So if we're on the same page, I don't know. Maybe plenty just want to keep them and maybe others are waiting for a peak and the rest don't have any.
It's weird though, I owned a 93 MJ refractor and sold it for a profit (nothing like now though) and I still have a BGS 9 MJ Finest base and they are apparently selling for $200-$250. If you had of told me when I bought it that I could sell it for $250 USD (converted to Ausd it's about $380 here) I would laugh at you.

If you’re moving MJ right now, do it for other MJ, LeBron, or Kobe. Can’t really go wrong that way. Might still regret it, but at least you won’t look back and ask yourself why you sold your MJ Exquisite for a box of 2019 Prizm.

Ha ha. I know what you mean. Now is not the time to be loading up on MPJ or Anfernee Simons Prizm silvers.....
Or is it? :flex:

Whoever bid $7k on that must not have looked at the back.
I think some people are all about the front. If it looks good in their showcase, they don't care how "bad" the back looks!

Thank you for the advice. I just might do that. The problem is, I've regretted every Jordan sale I've ever done. And they were all profits also.
I think I may have to do the same..
I get that feeling 100%..when I first got out of the hobby around 2011 i sold the majority of my stuff including all my Jordans so I could get into the full game used market..at the time I thought I "killed it"...looking back...makes me a little sad seeing what those cards for now and that was before this recent surge..I just tell myself without selling that stuff I wouldn't have meigray certified gamers of Duncan, Russ, KG, Jason Kidd etc...lessens the pain a bit

more staggering than the price of the jordans is austin croshere being only 10 bucks cheaper than ewing. i think they anticipated he would be the next vince vaughn, he just never lived up to the hype.

Incredible... I saw a BIN pop up last night and snagged one at $170, I'm guessing too good to be true as their ebay account was created that day, but oh well buyer protection and I can't miss out on a potential deal like that. Guy said he has 4 and immediately listed another at $300...?

Have to bring this one to your attention.
Here is the 1997-98 Collector’s Choice Star Attractions Gold SP
Its a Beauty!!!

Love the Gold Foil seems to go well with the Goat.
So this card is not numbered. I opened quite a few packs of these and let me tell you the silver copies are not hard to pull. I thought they where all silver until One day I pulled a Gold Gary Payton. Then I thought ok there must be a Gold MJ. That would look cool. So I looked on ebay to see one Gold copy of MJ Gold plenty of Silver. This was 3 months ago. $80. No problem.
After that I decided to check Pop reports to get an idea of roughly how scarce these are. I know these cards are very condition sensitive like all die cut cards and also in the 90s grading was not as big and peeps did not look after cards like they do now.
Well turns out these are pretty hard to find.
PSA only 4 total graded
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/5d3d6bd59f3bf9121afe6dc749468d4c.jpg
One Gem!!!
BGS only 11 copies graded.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200414/cd39e96e8c1ff3604c9832f2a1f27d28.jpg
Not one Gem.
A total of 15 Copies combined graded by the two big companies. 15!!!!!
Lets just say only 10 percent of all copies have been graded. Which due to era and condition sensitive that could be possible. Thats 150 copies only. Say its even only 5% of cards in existence graded that only 300 copies of this card.
People are paying over 1k for base cards printed in the thousands if not tens of thousands.
So yeah thought Id share with all. Hope you can find a copy of this card. Its a beauty and currently well undervalued/appreciated.
Thanks me later when you get one (jokes)
Peace

I personally love the 1990 Hoops Sam Vincent/Michael Jordan #12 card.
Undervalued, great conversation piece, and a nice "oddball", but not "oddball" card to add!

I recently opened about 20 packs within the past year and I pulled 2 golds. Small sample size, but I don't think they were super rare. Silver was 1 per pack.

I have the same question.
I have a raw copy and am thinking about putting it up on eBay but am worried that if buyer decides to return it that it may get switched for a bad condition one. Mine appears to be a BGS 9 candidate.

Regarding returns....In a month or so when these start to crash back down to reality and everyone spent all the money they made on them right now...that's going to leave ppl waste high in crap.

So, the buyer of the PSA 8.5 listed the card immediately (not in hand yet), and then ended the auction?!

That's most likely not the buyer. I have more than once found that seller using screenshots of other people's cards.

The feedback rating of the auction winner and the seller is the same...so, I'm pretty sure it's the buyer.

Ok. Just one thing though. Where are all the MJ Golds? None on ebay. None on the pop report.
