This exceptional 1985-86 Star Michael Jordan #117 card represents a spectacular intersection of condition rarity and basketball history, graded a superb BGS 9.5 Gem Mint. Boasting subgrades of 9.5 for Corners, Edges, and Surface alongside a Centering grade of 9, this card showcases phenomenal preservation. The vibrant red borders of the Star Company's releases are notoriously susceptible to chipping and wear, making a Gem Mint specimen highly coveted. This particular copy stands out with its sharp registration and outstanding visual appeal, presenting a pristine snapshot of a young Jordan driving down court in his classic Chicago Bulls uniform.
As one of the most significant early issues of the greatest of all time, the Star #117 card celebrates Jordan's sensational 1984-85 Rookie of the Year season, detailing his statistics on the reverse. Because Star Co. cards were distributed in limited quantities in sealed team bags rather than traditional wax packs, high-grade examples are exceedingly difficult to acquire. This cornerstone collectible serves as a blue-chip asset and an essential acquisition for elite sports card investors and curators seeking the absolute pinnacle of Michael Jordan memorabilia.Show more
