1986/87 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan Rookie Card – PSA GEM MT 10


Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his most esteemed Rookie Card appearance. Presented is one of the most sought-after modern cards of any type, and arguably the most popular card from any era or sport. This is an opportunity for a collection of basketball cards to reach the apex of refinement. Michael Jordan is seen here in the highest grade acknowledged to exist by PSA, a distinction that fewer than two percent of all the examples ever validated by that company are qualified to boast. The offered card is clearly a pack-fresh copy, with impeccable centering and superb color. The bold, ideally focused and brilliant image of Jordan absolutely radiates through its pristine layer of uninterrupted, original surface gloss. Four razor-sharp and apparently never-touched edges culminate in pinpoint corners at each aspect. This beautiful card is further distinguished by the virtual absence of manufacturer's print marks or color anomalies, an incredible achievement for this unbelievably fragile and temperamental issue. The summum bonum of the basketball card collecting hobby, in glistening and immaculate Gem Mint condition.
