Default Anyone have a Low-Grade Jordan 90's Insert Collection?

I'm poor, so I can't afford those $$$$ Jordans, so I have to settle for the lesser graded ones.

Here's what I accumulated so far in a few months:



It's fun to own these cards without shelling out the big bucks!

Anyone else have a low-grade 90's insert Jordan collection?

Got this one a couple days ago… I had a PSA7 that I sold and regretted, so I was happy to get it back. I’ll probably crack out and keep raw

I think you were tongue in cheek a bit calling these "low grade" but they're average grades and actually probably above technically compared to raw. The average raw Jordan from some of these condition sensitive sets on Ebay would be fortunate to get a 7 or 8 the way PSA grades nowadays. Awesome collection

Would like to see other suggestions of lower priced ones ($50-150 range)

Well, low grades compared to the 9's and 10's that go for big bucks for these cards.

Great to add to a collection, not very desirable for flippers or anyone trying to make money!

I've been eyeing PSA 8 and 9's of his Ultra Gold Medallion's. Nice cards, I think!

I'm building one, but it is taking a long time. All PSA.

7-8 is mid. 5-6 is low.

Its basic arithmetic.

I think it's a very nice collection. Yeah 9-10's on some of those are huge $$, but those 7-8's are nothing to sneeze at. Again, solid stuff thanks for sharing.

Yup...my bad! Coming from the "Ultra Modern" world...anything below a 9 is considered a low grade! lol

Alright, so MID-grade Jordan 90's inserts!

Shout out to Cajun Cardboard on Youtube and his Jordan Hierarchy videos for giving me the knowledge on these and other cards!

Feel free to post any cool MID-grade Jordan 90's inserts you have!

Doing pretty similar, here’s what I have currently



Flair Hot Numbers and SP Playoff Heroes die cut are next on my list but it’s like only PSA 10’s exist of both of those, very annoying

I have a low grade Hot Numbers heading to PSA, so at least there will be one available by December.

You sure about the Hot Numbers? I don’t pay much attention to pop reports but just from my experience browsing eBay I would come across 8s and 9s very frequently.

Both great cards though. I’m convinced my Playoff Heroes diecut has a shot at a 10.

Maybe when I’m 50 I’ll finally send in a sub.

Majority of my mj pc is raw/8.5 or lower. There is no shot in hell I’m paying the premiums on 9s. The higher grade stuff I do have was mostly purchased years back.

As far as recommendations, I could go on and on about his inserts, but if there was ever a most bang for your buck parallel I’d go 1996 SPx Gold. Beautiful card.

I love buying PSA 7-8 Jordans. Many PSA 10s and even 9s have been trimmed and passed grading.

Love what you're doing man. It's not all about grades for me (kinda like in school).. I'm doing them in mostly raw condition. Like being able to touch the card if I want. You can see them on my IG @jeffrosjordansnmore

That’s raw, not low grade. If we’re posting raw cards as well, I have some to post.
