Market outlook

Declining Outlook 4/10

Recent 30-45% price drops in raw condition sales indicate softening demand amid abundant supply[1].

Next months. Stable to further soft at $1-3 raw; graded holds low floor.

Long term. Stable as affordable entry-level Jordan card, modest growth tied to nostalgia.

History

Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, a Chicago Bulls legend who won 6 NBA championships, 5 MVP awards, and revolutionized the sport with his athleticism, scoring prowess, and global impact during the 1990s.

First released in 1990 as part of the 1990-91 NBA Hoops All-Star insert set, featuring the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

  • This is the All-Star East variant of card #5, one of five tracked Michael Jordan variations in the 1990 Hoops set including Base, Behind the Scenes (MJ's Playground), Behind the Scenes (Super Streaks), and Team Checklist[1].
  • Not a rookie card, as Jordan's rookies are from 1984-85 sets[2].
  • Part of the perforated All-Star Panels subset in some distributions[4].

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues, edge wear, corner dings, and surface scratches common on high-volume 1990s cards; All-Star variants often have perforation marks or separation flaws from panels[4].

Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading and warping.

Authenticity. Verify print quality, holograms if graded, and compare to known raw examples; fakes are rare for this common insert but check for incorrect fonts or paper stock; prefer graded/graded/graded copies.
