Upper Deck · Collectibles & Antiques > Sports Cards
Era / Decade
1990s (specifically 1996-1997 season)
Material
Cardstock with foil stamping and gloss coating
Condition
Fair to Good. Visible corner wear (softening), edge chipping on the blue vertical border, and surface scratches. Not a candidate for high-grade professional certification.
Demand Level
Moderate. Jordan cards always have a floor price, but common inserts from the 'junk wax' transition era are abundant.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $15.00 (raw/ungraded condition)
Estimated Retail Value
$3.00 - $5.00 (original pack price per unit)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings for this specific #P2 card range from $6.00 to $12.00 for raw copies with similar wear. Pristine graded PSA 10 copies can fetch significantly more, but this specimen does not qualify.
Description
1996-97 Upper Deck Michael Jordan 'Predictor Player of the Month' insert card. Features Jordan in a red Chicago Bulls away jersey with blue marbling text treatment and silver foil logo. This was part of an interactive promotion where customers could win prizes if the player won Player of the Month.
Key Features
Michael Jordan is the most sought-after athlete in the hobby; nostalgia for 90s insert sets; officially licensed Upper Deck product.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct hologram placement and font styles for 1996 Upper Deck production. High confidence in authenticity; these are rarely faked in low-grade condition.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on edges, soft corners, and surface scuffing visible in the photo. Card appears used rather than 'pack fresh'.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching sports card collectors) or Mercari. Local sales via Facebook Marketplace are possible but usually yield lower prices for single cards.
Selling Tips
Do not get this graded, as the flaws will result in a low score that costs more than the card is worth. Mention '90s Insert' in the title. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader for shipping. Offer 'eBay Standard Envelope' shipping for a low-cost, tracked option.
