Aesthetically best cards: Michael Jordan edition

GOATcards · 01-03-2022, 12:19 PM

A few MJ cards that really catch my eye:

1992 Stadium Club #210

1995 E-XL Natural Born Thrillers

1998 Topps Roundball Royalty (do these have greening issues?)

1991 Hoops

1995 Topps

1987 Fleer sticker

1992 Stadium Club Beam Team

1992 Upper Deck #453 (MJ's best dunk? ("kiss the rim"))

1993 Ultra #30

1998 Upper Deck MJx #135 (image also found on '99/'00 UD #FF12 "final floor")

One of the ones I've always liked best is the 1996-97 metal shredders subset. Not just jordan though, all of them are really cool looking to me.

Sadly yes. But not all 1998-99 Jordan Refractors thankfully they figured it out that year.

I like this one

I think 1997 Collector's Choice "Michael's Magic" 387 is my all-around favorite Jordan image. And the entire 97 UD Jordan Tribute "red rays" set (MJ30-60) is a sight to behold.

Gotta have his 90-91 Skybox card in there....that's one of the most iconic set designs ever.....

imbluestreak23 · 01-03-2022, 07:10 PM

Favorite bass, great textures. Not Poopini at all.

Deanninja · 01-03-2022, 07:22 PM

This one. I thought it was the best looking card I had ever seen from the moment I first saw it.

Fab5forlife23 · 01-03-2022, 07:23 PM

This has always been one of my favorites.

Same photo as on the 91 Hoops I posted!

Looks like a fadeaway jumper? Not nearly enough of those on MJ cards, more interesting than him dunking.

GOATcards · 01-03-2022, 07:46 PM

If it's MJ soaring for a dunk, might as well make it the 1996 Skybox Premium:

GOATcards · 01-03-2022, 07:56 PM

If it's MJ soaring for a dunk, this one's pretty good. Not knowing anything else about this card, how would you rate its aesthetics?

So that would be this one

Looks like it could make a great magazine cover.
This photo's not on a card, but for all-around Jordan close-up images, how do you rate it? (So it lacks the spontaneity of the game-time image....)

Skybox · 01-03-2022, 10:46 PM

not particularly valuable but a very aesthetic card nonetheless:

I bought these two solely because I thought they looked awesome.
