This 1998-99 Metal Universe Planet Metal Michael Jordan (#1) is a prime example of late-1990s basketball insert design, defined by its custom curved die-cut edge and planetary foil background. Graded BGS 7.5 Near Mint+ by Beckett Grading Services, the card features exceptional subgrades of Centering 10 and Corners 9, offset by Edges 8 and Surface 6.5. The delicate foil surface on these metal-stock cards is notoriously condition-sensitive, making the pristine centering and sharp corners of this specimen stand out. According to the Beckett population report, only 13 examples of this card have been graded at the 7.5 tier.
Released by SkyBox International during the final season of Jordan's legendary tenure with the Chicago Bulls, the Planet Metal insert set consists of a tight 15-card checklist, with this card designated as "1 of 15 PM" on the reverse to mark its position in the set rather than an individual serial number. The design showcases Jordan mid-flight against an etched bronze globe backdrop, capturing the aesthetic of an era when die-cut technology revolutionized the hobby. Representing a six-time NBA Champion and Finals MVP at the height of his global popularity, this insert stands as a signature piece of Jordan's late-career collectibles.Show more
