MJ Card help please??

[buck724]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could help me on something. I found this MJ card in my PC that I totally forgot I had. However, since I'm more of a baseball guy, I know nothing about it. Is there anyone here who can help me with the rarity and value of this card?? I would greatly appreciate any help! (Also, if you think it's worth submitting for a grade judging by the scans). Thanks in advance!

Dunkin Donuts has the word "dunk" in it. Basketball players regularly perform dunks. I get it. Collectors do too as this popular card sells well despite appearing at a rather reasonable 1:720 packs.

Did a quick google search and found that. I'm not sure what sells well means in terms of $$$ but it is a very cool card. I love Dunkin' Donuts!

1:720 is reasonable? Despite? Oh internet

Yeah just looked. Last few $204-$230ish. Wowza

 

[buck724]

Wow! Thanks guys! Do you think mine is worth submitting?

Two currently on eBay. Both BGS 10. One is listed at 950 and the other 999.

Condition wise, what do you guys think looking at the scans?

The scan looks clean, but in the end it is still a scan that tells little in the hands of a professional grader. Could be a 10, or a 8.5...

9.5's are selling for around $300 and you would probably be seeing less than raw for a 9.0 or less. Personally, I would only grade it if it were for the PC, if selling I would sell raw.

That makes sense now that you put it that way. Thanks a bunch, you've been a huge help!!

PM sent to you.

These cards are acetate so they are generally in good shape. That said, a 9 would sell for what a raw would, a 9.5 will carry a small premium and a 10 Pristine (which are not rare for this card) would be about double the raw price for a normal player stretching to 3X for a guy like Jordan.

If you were me, would you submit? I'm thinking about sending it into BGS. Obviously I'm not a grader and know little compared to them, but I personally think the card is in amazing shape.

It's your call. So much can be missed in scans.

Personally, im not a big grading/BGS fan. If you are looking to sell this at ANY POINT (whether now or in 20 years) I would go ahead and get it graded with a Minimum Grade of 9.5. Most people won't even touch a high dollar Jordan insert unless it is slabbed. These are good, but mid-level so it might be different but getting it slabbed is more peace of mind for the NEXT guy....and basically locks you into a resell price level in the future.

Thank you for the help! I really appreciate it!

You selling?

 

[buck724]

You selling?

I was toying with the idea but it's a tough call since the card has some meaning to me. It would have to be an offer I couldn't refuse.
