Jordan Star rookie question - Page 8

celtics · 02-01-2021, 10:38 AM

I got lucky and back in May I picked up every Star card ever made, a 1986 Fleer set with a Jordan BGS 6 rookie, Bird/Magic Rookie Set among others.

The rise of this XRC MJ is amazing! Back in May I got it graded and it came back an 8.5 which was a $12 - 15,000 card at the time. Now it's above $30,000 which is more than I paid for the entire collection!

I'm going to get my 5x7's graded next

It's a nice one but will that be over your budge for the 101?

Yes, you are right. The 84 Court King and 85 Slam Dunk are two of most beautiful Michael Jordan cards of all time, but the 85 Team Supers are also cool looking.

That's very good for you, but I think the real deal aren't here yet which the current bump is nothing compare to the 86 Fleer and Stickers. Once collectors finally solve the mystery of Stars, the real deal will come.

I've got every MJ Star card except his 1986 10 card set. Thought I had one secured, but the seller backed out so I'm still looking.

Yes, I'm holding all the Jordan's from that set now. Such a rarer MJ than the Fleer card

There is a 1986 Stars Michael Jordan 10 cards set all graded BGS 9 listing on eBay now which I was just about to hit the buy it now but found out the seller raised its price; However, that could be a very good buy for its original price. Anyway, I have moved on since I already got a couple BGS 9.5 ones in that set.

Mustang1990 · 02-01-2021, 11:38 AM

You think these cards have more potential upside and room to grow than the Fleer cards? Specifically 87 Fleer stickers / base.... I have chance to grab one each of the 87s psa 9 or take a chance at some of these star cards but not both.. Advice?

87 Fleers are great choices, but if you look back a few years ago when everything was so clam, the average 87 fleers were cheaper than the Star Jordans which was why I grabbed some 87-90 Fleers instead of Star Jordans at that time. Now, the Star Jordans have increased a bit but still not match the growth for 87 or even the 90 Fleers, from this point, I think the Star Jordans have way more room to grow than any other Jordan cards.

The 84 -86 Star Jordans are absolutely in Michael Jordan's rookie cards lineup even the 86 Stars were published in the same year as the iconic #57 and the Stickers; these 25 cards were Michael Jordan's first 25 official NBA licensed cards of his career, so the 87 Fleer are not comparable with the Star Jordans even they out sell the Star Jordans by miles right now.

If you check eBay's sale records, you will clearly see the power of Michael Jordan fans. We bought Star Jordans because we like them. For myself, I wouldn't want hot money from investors coming in, otherwise new collectors will not have any chance buying a Jordan rookie.

I was watching that too. He raised it from $10k to $15k.

I liked the lot since card #8 and #9 are really low in pop. I checked eBay's history and there were only a few BGS 9 of them listed in the past three month.

I hate the large size of the court kings but they seem pretty rare..

jnmcards · 02-01-2021, 02:41 PM

What would you guys do with a sealed 84-85 Court Kings bag? The Jordan is in impeccable condition and so is the bag. On one hand, I'd hate to rip it open, but the bags are such a pain to store as well (any ideas let me know).

MattMiller · 02-01-2021, 02:51 PM

I would open and have graded otherwise a tough sell or you open yourself up to future, fun filled drama...

Only go there if you have plans to cash out this year . You can get bagged graded too as far as I know. That card is losing no value as it is. But if you
Might $$ you have to submit.

You could always just sell it to me so you didn't have to worry about it.

Love seeing some attention on the Star cards finally. Just picked up a gorgeous signed PSA/DNA 1986 #117 recently with period auto. Just wish i upgraded my 101 when it was so cheap to do.

Diana1984 · 02-01-2021, 07:53 PM

Currently the difference between the 8 and 8.5 auctions is approximately $7,000. Is there a cut off point with the grades where it goes from average to a good grade? Is the difference between an 8 and 8.5 a good example with this card or is the difference between say a 7.5 and an 8 a better example of this?

Brent72 · 02-01-2021, 08:05 PM

I'd say anything 7.5 or above for the 101 is a nice grade to have this card in.

So do you think they (PSA-BGS) will ever start to designate the “period” autographs? I got Star & Fleer NBA cards signed 35 years ago, and was hoping their may be a premium value there one day.

Totalpackage · 02-03-2021, 08:03 AM

35 years ago? That was nice.

Diana1984 · 02-03-2021, 08:54 PM

this one just popped up. whats the demand like on an altered card? Do the cons outweigh the pros? This might be the only one I can afford.https://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-85-Sta...4AAOSw5wlgGyU3

I think many will think the same way so this card will always have value
