The 1986 Star Company Michael Jordan #5 commemorates his debut appearance in the 1985 NBA All-Star Game. Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by Beckett Grading Services (BGS), this example features technical subgrades of 9 for Centering, 9.5 for Edges, 9 for Surface, and 8 for Corners. In the BGS population registry, this card sits at a population of 330. While not individually serial-numbered, Star Company's print runs from this era are historically understood to be highly limited compared to later mass-production releases. Originally distributed in clear sealed polybags, cards from this set are notoriously condition-sensitive, making the high edges and centering grades on this specimen particularly notable.\n\nReleased during Jordan's second season, Star Company's basketball sets remain landmark releases in the hobby, serving as the sole licensed source for NBA cards during a critical gap in major manufacturer production prior to the 1986-87 Fleer set. This card, numbered 5 of 10 in the subset, documents Jordan's stat line from his very first All-Star game. Commemorating the early career of a six-time NBA Champion, five-time League MVP, and 2009 Hall of Fame inductee, this card stands as a vital piece of basketball history.Show more
