The 1996-97 E-X2000 "A Cut Above" insert set stands as one of the most innovative and visually spectacular releases of the 1990s, and this Michael Jordan card is the absolute crown jewel of the checklist. Featuring an intricate, aggressive circular saw-blade die-cut design, this card is notoriously fragile and difficult to find in high grades due to the extreme vulnerability of its acetate and sharp points. This example has earned a Near-Mint to Mint BGS 8 designation, bolstered by a spectacular 9.5 Centering subgrade, alongside 8.5 Edges, 8 Corners, and 8 Surface. For collectors of elite 1990s basketball inserts, this card represents the pinnacle of die-cut craftsmanship and condition-sensitive rarity.\nReleased during the height of the Chicago Bulls' second historic three-peat, this card captures the essence of Michael Jordan's absolute dominance over the NBA. As a ten-time scoring champion, five-time MVP, and six-time Finals MVP, Jordan's legacy is unmatched, driving continuous global demand for his most coveted vintage inserts. "A Cut Above" has solidified its reputation as a cornerstone asset within the high-end basketball market, making this BGS-graded masterpiece a premier acquisition for any serious sports card portfolio.Show more
