Recently, we were fortunate enough to acquire a Jordan rookie in a PSA 7 grade. This one seemed like a no-brainer, and it majestically stands out within the showcases at Lab 20. Casey, Dad, and I all have different rankings on where His Airness lies on the all-time list, so this card is sure to stir up debate. The short answer is this: Jordan’s game and iconography are unparalleled, transcending both sport and popular culture. This stunning copy serves as a testament to Jordan’s greatness, and we are happy to add it to the shop.
