I guess there are a lot of new people that like star suddenly now that the prices are on the rise. The best thing you can do is go to this website and absorb the information for yourself and refer back to it when you need it. The amount of misinformation that gets repeated without any evidence here and in other forums is astounding.
www.basketballgold.com The person that made this knows more about this product than the rest of us put together. No, schonco was not the help they had to start grading the cards. That was an original dealer and someone that still deals with them, Steve Taft. He trained them, SCD, and GAI which were both great at grading star. Not what GAI became toward the end but the original. As for the people that hang their hat on psa telling them what is and is not ok to collect, keep doing that. And when psa gives them their blessing go out and pay 5x for the same cards you could buy now and talk about how you've always liked them. PSA says they don't grade trimmed cards too and that's clearly wrong. Educate yourselves and quit thinking this entity of other "people" has your interest at heart. PSA is not a supernatural being. You can quickly learn more about star than they know. Might take you a week. Try it. Knowledge is fun. |

There is clearly a bias against Star cards by certain people for some reason and I just don't get it. Ultimately the market will decide and I'd be willing to bet almost anything that collectors will decide they are criminally undervalued. Recent sales are already starting to show that they're getting their due.

I've really enjoyed this discussion so far. 80s Star basketball is bound to catch-on, as collectors following the hype behind his '86 Fleer realize there are other early Jordan cards. As these "collectors" become more educated - and I highly recommend reading up on Star Co. before spending big money, they will realize these are important basketball releases. There was a massive gap in NBA cards from 1981-82 Topps to 1986 Fleer, and Star is your key to bridging that gap.

Seems like the Star 117 is catching on. Love that card and it pre dates the Fleer!

Yes, the Star cards from 84-86 were quite undervalued comparing 86 Fleer since there were many misconceptions for Star cards which dragged down the value they deserved. Thanks for this thread, I have learnt many knowledges for Star cards and finally got enough confident to buy a Star Jordan, but I would pick the 86 Star since the price is still affordable to me.

I knew the Star cards would catch on eventually, seemed very undervalued compared to the 86 Fleer, I just picked up a 1984-85 Star Set last month and I got in just in time to watch the values creep up.

I was checking the recent sales for Star Jordan and I came cross a 86 Star Best of the New/Old Olajuwon BGS 9.5 sold for near 1k. Does the card worth the price it sold?

Always preferred Star Jordan XRC because it's the first official Jordan pro card. It may be a heretical view, but I'm just not a fan of 86 Fleer in terms of design.

Holding is a different matter of course. Those people aren't selling bagged copies either. |

thanks guys for all the info. I think we are going to buy graded as it is too much of a gamble with the bags. Is there a big price difference between these 2? Is it worth it to play a little more for the higher grade?

The population for 84 Star 101:
9.5 x 3; 9 x 68; 8.5 x 237; 8 x 231; 7.5 x 179; 7 x 87; Total graded 902; From the population report, you can see both 7.5 and 7 are below average, so I would pick the cheaper one if the price difference within 2k. |

So if there is less than 2K difference, go with the higher grade. If its more than 2k go with the lower grade?

With only ~902 Jordan Star 101's and some in the bags still, this will be a million dollar card... Of course missed the boat but maybe can get a lower end card... who knows

There's going to be more than a 10% difference in sale price between a 7 and an 8 by the time those auctions end. Guaranteed.
