Default Your favorite Jordan insert prior to 96-97

Just for fun, which are your favorites? These were hi-chase cards in the 90s?
Putting before 96-97, where super high end cards started coming out (Kobe’s RC year)
Ones I remember are:

92-93 Fleer Team Leader
Fleer “Total D”
93-94 Scoring King
93-94 Ultra All Defensive
Power in the Key
1st Beam Team (Shaw’s year)


I always liked the Fleer Team Leader, although the picture isn’t great.

95 Skybox had some great inserts too with his Larger Than Life,Meltdown & Standouts Hobby. Then you had 95 Flair with his Anticipation,New Heights & Hot Numbers.

I still don't own my favorite, so I don't want to pump it. But it's surprisingly made by Upper Deck

Fleer Living Legends was cool too.
I remember really liking this MJ:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MICHAEL-JOR...4AAOSwkXddacv7

This was a weird upper deck set, I think it was sold at some 90s department stores.

Excluding base parallels, I might have to go with this from 1995-96 SP:

1993-94 Fleer Living Legends



After that probably his 1993-94 Scoring Kings, and the Emotion N-Tense (pictured above)

I prefer either Topps Mystery Finest refractor, or Flair Hot Numbers.

Yea, N-Tense is just a perfect design, it always gets my vote. 95-96 Meltdown/Larger Than Life/Standouts were mentioned and I can't find fault in that either, though. Same goes for the cloud themed Mystery Finest refractors.

But I always try to give this set the respect it deserves, it's probably my favorite after N-Tense.

Team leader for me too. But I actually like the picture. It’s unlike most MJ cards.
