The 1984 Star Michael Jordan #101 stands as the premier rookie-era issue of the six-time NBA champion, released during his 1984–85 Rookie of the Year season with the Chicago Bulls. Graded PSA 7 Near Mint, this example retains strong visual appeal with vibrant red borders framing the action photograph. The PSA population report records 160 examples at this grade level. As a premier card from Jordan's debut campaign, this issue serves as an investment-grade cornerstone piece for any serious basketball collection.
Star Co. operated as the exclusive licensee for NBA trading cards between 1983 and 1986, distributing its sets in sealed team polybags rather than traditional wax packs. This distribution method left outer cards particularly susceptible to edge wear and corner touches, making well-preserved examples of card #101 notably condition-sensitive. Featuring Jordan's collegiate statistics from the University of North Carolina on the reverse, card #101 represents the earliest licensed NBA card of the game's most celebrated figure.Show more
