Presented is the highly sought-after 1984-85 Star #101 Michael Jordan rookie card.
This cardboard collectible is graded BGS 8.5 with two 9.5 sub grades! Collectors will tell you that this is Jordan’s first “true” rookie card and is scarcer and more condition sensitive than the 1986-87 Fleer #57. (Though the Fleer card is technically considered his rookie card, this example predates the Fleer card by two years!) This card was part of a 288-card set released in three series during the first five months of 1985 by Star Company. The set is comprised of team sets issued in clear sealed bags. Many of these team bags were distributed to hobby dealers via a small group of distributors, with reportedly only 3,000 bags printed for each team.
Very recently a Michael Jordan 1984-85 Star #101 Rookie Card - Graded BGS 8.5 sold for close to $13,000. These cards are prime investments and have been aggressively increasing in price due to their rarity compared to their fleer counterpart.
