I like the Z-Peat better, it's shinier. Gonna pick up one of those eventually, too.

The 1996-97 Platinum Medallion base MJ, however, is one of my 10 favorite cards of all time. The simplicity of the design, the action shot (and Big Dog's expression), just the right amount of shininess for a parallel.
I have to admit, the Jordan pic is far bettet than the D. Robinson one though. It does make a difference.

I'm already regretting selling my 96 Platinum MJ. Bought it raw and it graded an 8 (at least it was legit). Needed the $$$ at the time unfortunately.

I'm with you, the Platinum is right up there.

Thanks man

Yeah I hear you as many cards went bonkers

I bid on a PWCC 98-99 Molten Metal Fusion MJ as well but it ended for WAY more than I was willing to pay for it

Oh well

I still have some old packs from 96 to 97 (Singapore stop selling basketball cards and switch to MTG / Pokémon)... would take some photos for this thread later today!

This should be ex-2000


The first SPX pack pull Jordan auto (ok pack pulled redemption)


Fleer Tiffany first appearance; paper stock pack


Never seen the triple threats from this year... long odds...

1997 SPX.. 2nd year.. as a 12 year old then was super intrigue with the SPX concept; 1/2 card per pack


1996/97 finest series 2...


Back then they listed the odds for hot packs; 1:72.. odds for other inserts -> random.. 1:3 to 1:37


Hoops being a cheaper product; autographics have way longer odds than other fleer products


1998 SPX; 3rd year... anyone saw before the piece of history trade

Here's my most recent BOLD pickup (Now at 18 total )

I havent seen one of these show up for sale in 3 years (either graded or raw) and feel very fortunate to obtain one

Its the "BOLDEST BOLD" at 1:112,500 packs

While I've picked up MANY Jordan inserts over the past few years, this is by far my personal favorite without question

While inserts are nice, cards like this are just legendary

Card is absolutely stunning in person

As I've said in many of my prior posts, I have a major weakness for early MJ Game Jersey cards

Being this is his first Patch Jersey card only makes it even more special to me

Nice. Back when a jersey/patch card ment something. Don't see these often.

Yeah I can assume it. Always nice hitting PC cards you don t have. When they are rare even better o:

Pulling a red label must feel like a big Jackpot O:

I cant find the odds on these anywhere. Beckett lists the odds for the Black labels, though not the reds. Where did you find this info?

Looking for info on the 98-99 molten metal xplosion cards.

Beckett says there are 3 tiers as far as pack odds go. Jordan is #141 and part of the “supernatural xplosion” group that is 1:60

There are 150 cards in the set

Does that make it a 1:9,000 pack hit?

Or do the different tiers affect things?

I think the first 100 cards were 1:2.5
The next group is 1:18
And then Jordans group is 1:60

Thanks in advance

1998-99 Topps Series 2 had different odds for different versions of packs. For Red label, the 1:4967 odds are for 11 card packs. 8 card packs were 1:6830 and jumbo (40) card packs 1:1366. I don't have any 16 card packs right now to check odds but those were closer to 1:3400

If you can show the odds of all different packs, i will average them and add it to the list...........certainly looks like it will be a bold card..........I pulled 2 black label myself, cool card

Part of me hates to bump this since it's overpriced as it is, but yea, slight correction needed.

Ha, only remember because someone from the boards was thinking of buying a metal box and asked about the inserts available in each series.

Mr Fancypants, I'll try to scan them tomorrow for you.
