Michael Jordan Basketball Cards Childhood collection + more (Over 230 cards)
Up for sale is my childhood basketball collection from the early 90's. I grew up in Chicago as a huge Chicago Bulls, and Michael Jordan fan, just like many other millions of fans in Chicago, and all over the world. Unfortunately, around 1993, I moved to Mexico, and I stopped collecting cards, and just had my binder of cards with me, and they were just put away. I eventually moved back to Chicago in 2001, however I had left my cards in Mexico, put away at my parents house. My parents did bring back the cards with them, when they came back to Chicago.
Just the sleeves, not the actual binder. All of the cards are in very good, to mint, or better condition. There's a couple of cards that are in bad condition, but just a couple or so. All of the Michael Jordan cards I individually checked one by one, and gave an honest, true grading, going off a few guidelines that I found on line, that you will find below in this post.
I must mention a couple of cards that got ripped, by my sister, back when we were kids. Just like typical siblings, we use to fight over the silliest things, and I pissed her off about something, that I made her cry, so she went into my card collection, and ripped a Michael Jordan card, and a Scottie Pippen card, from the Dream Team collection, as you can see from the pics. Sh#t happens, and I laugh about it now, however it sucks that it happen, but it is what it is, and I figured I would just sell all of my cards as is.
Some of the NBA players cards that I collected are: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Dominique Wilkins, Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O'Neal, and a variety of other random players that I decided to add to the collection. I was lucky enough to obtain a Wilt Chamberlain card as well, as you can see somewhere in the pics.
I was not able to post all of the cards/sleeves since there is a limit, so I tried to post the most appealing ones. There's approximately a total of over 230 cards. One interesting card that I clearly remember obtaining as a kid that excited me, was the first card that you see in the Shaquille O'Neal collection.
It was from a pack of cards, when McDonald's had a promotion, and would give out a free pack of cards. That Shaquille O'Neal rookie card was in the pack, and I remember getting excited, since he had just entered the NBA.
So I know I got lucky when I got that card. Obviously, those Michael Jordan cards will go up in value over the years, decades, as he was an iconic player, and I really enjoyed watching him play as a kid.
