Just what I always wanted … A Gem Mint Michael Jordan rookie
I received a package from CheckOutMyCards recently chock full of items I wanted for my PC. My intention was to write one post showing them all but that’d be quite lengthy. So I’ll go about this in a different manner and show items on an individual or group basis.
I’ll start with a BGS 9.5 1994 Upper Deck Collector’s Choice rookie card of Michael Jordan. While it is no where near in demand as his 1986-87 Fleer basketball rookie card, this Gem Mint copy of this Jordan rookie will look fantastic in my collection with my BGS 6 Fleer basketball Jordan and 6.5 1986 Nike Postcard.
Jordan had three rookie cards produced in 1994, all by Upper Deck. He has basic Upper Deck, the Collector’s Choice card shown here, and a Fun Packs card, which is not as easy to find, but hardly rare.
Right after I bought the Gem Mint copy, I picked up a raw “silver signature” parallel for about $1. Why? Why not!
And for good measure I shelled out another $3 for two more Jordan baseball cards. A 1994 Action Packed Minor Leagues card and a 1995 Upper Deck card featuring Jordan and Harry Carey.

Collector’s Choice always had such good photos for a low-end set.
