Can't Afford Michael Jordan... How about Jordan in the Background cards!

SlickRick · 04-19-2020, 11:50 AM

I thought it might be fun to start a thread of cards with Jordan in the Background.

Everyone knows the current couple background Jordan cards because of the UD lawsuit (Rodman Contenders, Pippen Optic). But tons of old cards have him too. Can you find any in your stash? I'll start it out

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these cards and do not intend to purchase them. I just thought it would be fun. Buy Harold Miner rookies at your own peril

The most infamous background Jordan:

The only card of him wearing the number 12 when his 23 was stolen on the trip to Orlando.

This post made me look up these cards and I just saw how much the 2017 Optic with Jordan in the background is going for now.

Base for $40 and Silvers $125.

I picked up one of these a while back for $20 because I thought it'd be a cool card to add to my "collecting for cheap" pile.

I'll add more as I find them

I strongly disagree, I would consider the Sam Vincent card the most infamous FOREGROUND Jordan, a seriously sweet card!
For Background, I've always loved this one - there's 4 guys fighting over an invisible ball while Ewing has is it way away from the action while he's levitating...

The most famous stadium club one is the John Starks card!!

I saw another member post this earlier this month and brought it up again a few days ago. After my post, all of the BINS on eBay were hit for the base versions of this card.

If you can’t afford to grab an MJ version, this is a nice consolation:
