This 1996 Finest Michael Jordan #50 features the Sterling design paired with the iconic Refractor parallel, complete with its original protective coating intact. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, this card highlights a condition-sensitive era of basketball chromium technology, where the removable film was designed to protect the delicate metallic surface from surface wear. The PSA population report records 70 examples at this grade, offering a well-preserved survivor from a landmark 1990s set.
The 1996-97 Finest release stands as a milestone in modern basketball card history, pioneering the multi-tiered structure of Common, Uncommon, and Rare thematic subsets. Jordan's legendary career with the Chicago Bulls reached its second-three-peat peak during this release era, coinciding with his fifth NBA Championship and his ninth career scoring title during the 1996-97 campaign.Show more
