The 1986 Star Michael Jordan #5 highlights Jordan's selection to the 1985 NBA All-Star Game during his rookie-era stretch with the Chicago Bulls. Graded BGS 8.5 Near Mint-Mint+ by Beckett Grading Services, this copy features subgrades of 9 for Corners, 9 for Edges, and 9 for Surface, with an 8 for Centering. Star Company issues were notoriously condition-sensitive due to original distribution in clear poly-bags rather than traditional wax packs. The Beckett population report shows 333 examples evaluated at the BGS 8.5 grade level.
Star Company held the exclusive NBA trading card license from 1983 through 1986, filling the gap between Topps' departure in 1981 and Fleer's entry in late 1986. As card #5 in a 10-card All-Star subset, this release retains vibrant red borders, crisp back typography detailing Jordan's All-Star Game statistics, and clear photography from the 1985 game in Indianapolis.Show more
