An absolute cornerstone of early Michael Jordan collectibles, this 1986 Star Court Kings #18 is graded a spectacular BGS 9.5 Gem Mint. Boasting outstanding subgrades—including near-perfect 9.5 marks for Corners, Edges, and Surface—this card represents an elite tier of preservation. The Star Company's 1986 Court Kings release is renowned for its vibrant, full-bleed yellow borders, a design choice notorious for showing even the slightest wear, making a Gem Mint assessment exceedingly rare. With a BGS population of just 63 at this elite level, this piece stands as an incredibly scarce and coveted artifact from Jordan's early NBA dominance.
Captured in his signature red Chicago Bulls away uniform, this card highlights a young Jordan on the cusp of global superstardom. Known as one of the most condition-sensitive and heavily scrutinized sets of the era, the 1986 Star Court Kings series remains a vital chapter in basketball card history. As collectors increasingly target premium, high-grade vintage assets of the game's greatest icon, this BGS 9.5 Gem Mint specimen offers unparalleled visual appeal and investment-grade pedigree. It is a true trophy piece for the most discerning sports card curators.Show more
