What Jordan card to buy for around $500

timber63401 · 08-06-2025, 09:11 PM

I know I'm 10 years too late to get a real nice Jordan for that price but looking to pick one up at that price point and looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Deandre? Poole? Crawford? Clarkson? Nwora??

92-3 Beam Team, 93-4 Scoring Kings are a couple of classics. Or a 2nd yr Fleer 87-88

A nicely centered PSA/SGC 8 1987 Fleer #59 is a great choice. I am looking personally for a 1992-93 Beam Team Jordan, but I think the pack pulled and not the Member's Choice is the way to go. You also might be able to get a 1986 Fleer sticker Jordan for close to $500 right now if you are patient watching auctions.

I used to hate members choice but isnt the pop lower than the pack pulled?

As far as refractors, his 96-97 Finest Bronze Refractor (“Sterling” theme) is one of my favorites in that range.

Lower pops, but that doesn't matter to me. Coming from a pack and not from a factory set is more special. I see the members choice logo and it makes it less special. I pulled a few from packs back in the day and I appreciate them more.

Getting someone good was brutal out of a box and I was so mad when they did the members choice bs. In fact most collectors were iirc.

Can probably talk him down to a hunbun if you ask nicely and say pretty please.

These Air George Floydan amalgamations don't pop up often at your local flea market out in the far reaches of lower Appalachia.

Act quick.

Oooh Damn.

Great pick

I got one pretty cheap but it is rough.

And I pulled a D. Rob

Gary · 08-07-2025, 08:17 AM

If it was me 87-88 Fleer 8's are still Cheap might be able to get an 8.5 if your lucky...i would add a 87-88 Fleer sticker also 9's might still be around for around $500.

Ediit:just checked forget the Sticker in a 9 there 3-4 times your budget but the 8's are still under your budget.

I recently bought a graded copy, PSA 7 is in that price range. But these cards are very difficult to find without any chipping on the back

Member's choice? Never heard that before. Are you referring to "Member's Only"?

Yes, Members Only. The ones not in packs.
