Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, won 6 NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls (1991-1993, 1996-1998), 5 MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, and revolutionized the sport's global popularity. This JC4 card from The Jordan Collection captures his iconic status during his prime, post-first retirement return.

Released in 1995 as part of Upper Deck Collector's Choice, distributed primarily in the United States with international variants.

• Part of a 10-card Jordan Collection insert set focusing on career highlights.
• JC4 features Michael Jordan in a dynamic action pose, often in English but with parallel versions in other languages like Portuguese.
• Produced during Jordan's historic 1995-96 season where he won his fourth championship.

Condition. Check for centering issues common on inserts (60/40 or better ideal), edge wear from wax pack pulling, print defects on Jordan's face/jersey, and corner fuzzing; gold signature or text must be sharp without chipping.

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment; avoid direct light to prevent fading on gloss finish.

Authenticity. Verify Upper Deck hologram if present; check font consistency and card stock thickness (standard 1995 UD is ~0.3mm); fakes often have blurry printing or incorrect back text; graded/graded/graded grading recommended for high value.
