The 1997-98 Metal Universe Championship Galaxy Michael Jordan #1 is a prominent insert from SkyBox's late-1990s basketball release. Graded PSA 7 Near Mint, with a population of 9 at this grade level, the card features Jordan set against an etched galactic background surrounded by a metallic perimeter. Due to the full-bleed foil construction and dark border surfaces characteristic of late-1990s Metal Universe products, edge flaking and surface chipping represent common condition hurdles for the issue.
Produced during Chicago's second championship three-peat run, the 15-card Championship Galaxy insert set anchored SkyBox's premium product line. Jordan leads the checklist as card #1 following a 1996-97 campaign in which he secured his fifth NBA championship and fifth Finals MVP award. 1990s Metal Universe inserts are widely recognized for their distinct foil manufacturing, intricate background texturing, and lasting influence on modern card design.Show more
