Era / Decade
1994 (Mid-1990s Junk Wax Era)
Material
Standard cardstock with a glossy finish on the front; features a textured yellow border representing a hot dog bun.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The photo shows significant surface wear, scuffing, and fine scratches on the gloss. The centering looks slightly off-top to bottom. The corners show slight softening through the penny sleeve.
Demand Level
Moderate. While high-grade versions (PSA 10) are valuable, raw copies like this are common and have a slower turnover.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $15.00 (Un-graded, raw state with surface wear).
Estimated Retail Value
N/A - Original promotional item included in packages of Ball Park Franks.
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay 'Sold' listings show raw, average condition copies typically sell for $5 to $12 plus shipping. Mint graded PSA 10 copies can reach $200+, but this specific card's surface wear precludes that tier.
Description
This is a 1994 Michael Jordan promotional card produced by Upper Deck for Ball Park Franks. The card features a profile shot of Jordan in his Chicago Bulls jersey. The border is a distinctive 'hot dog bun' yellow texture. This was an 'oddball' cereal/food issue that is popular among Jordan completionists.
Key Features
Features the GOAT Michael Jordan; Upper Deck branding; collectible 'oddball' food promotion; nostalgic for 90s collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card has the correct Upper Deck and Ball Park logos. These are rarely faked due to their low individual value, though reprints exist; the texture of the 'bun' border is a key tactile indicator.
Flaws to Note
Significant surface scuffing and micro-scratching on the front image; light corner softening; surface dirt visibly trapped inside or on the sleeve; centering is imperfect.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC (Check Out My Cards). eBay is the standard for sports cards, while COMC is excellent for low-value individual 'oddball' cards.
Selling Tips
Remove from the dirty penny sleeve and place in a fresh, clean penny sleeve and top-loader before photographing. Use keywords '1994 Upper Deck Ball Park Michael Jordan #24 Bulls'. List as a 'Buy It Now' rather than an auction.
