Here is my crappy iphone photo of my Star Jordan. I keep debating if I want to get it graded and sell it to fund some other parts of my collection. I remember buying the complete set for $60 as a kid. I was smart enough to take care of the star players but can't say the same things about the commons.
For autograph collectors the John Stockton is extremely hard to get as John doesn't like to sign cards. I got this signed IP while attending his basketball camp at Gonzaga.

I bought a set of the Star cards as well when they came out; I wish my 42 year-old self had the investing wisdom that my 11 year old self did!
After sitting in my collection raw for 30+ years, this one is at Beckett now, and I should learn its grade in a day or two. Won't be too high because of a couple of corners, but will be happy to have it slabbed, should I ever decide to move it....

Corners 6.5 Centering 7.5 Edges 8.5 Surface 9.0 About what I expected, so I'm happy to have it slabbed now!

This thread inspired me to pick one up, my 1st. I agree Ben, this is the best image of all of the Jordan stars. The dimensions of the 5x7 only improves the look.

Bird and magic
I picked up a couple classics. Why the magic didn't get a 9 centering making it a 9.5 is beyond me. It is a beautiful card.
Star cards rule.

I have always loved this card. They go relatively cheap in high grades which surprises me.

I recently picked up this one, with three 9s it seems unfairly graded to me although I don't know Beckett's system. Also all the ones I have seen are pretty much centered like this.

Jordan Olympic
Peter - Nice card. I agree most are centered like that.
With beckett you can only get a .5 grade higher over-all then the corners or centering. So your 7,9,9,9 would in theory net the same grade as a card with all 7.5's. The Jordan below had a 6 for corners making the highest grade possible a 6.5. If you get a 7 for surface or edges and all of the other grades were a 9 you could get an over-all grade of 8. It is why that Beckett prices will vary depending on the subs. A card with 9.5's across the board but an 8.5 for centering will sell better then a card with 3 9's and a 8.5 even though they have the same grade.

That is awesome I wish I had the extra cash to pick up another, that card was like a unicorn when I was a kid. Until one day I saw one and the dealer wanted $900, which to me in the early 90's was like a million. I would go into his shop and look at that thing all the time until he sold it. It was in similar shape as yours, that is one card, that condition aside, just having is great, in my opinion.

Star cards have been fairly active on EBay in recent months and you can sort by completed sale for pricing. I follow these closely. If you are looking to buy and new to Star, buy cards in the BGS holder already until you have time to study up. The fakes are easy to tell if you take the time to learn and is worth the effort as the cards are beauties.

Here are two recent Jordan pickups. I have been wanting to get an Entenmann's Jordan for some time. The Star Jordan #117 is a beautiful 2nd year card. The Star Jordan was produced before the 1986 Fleer Jordan.

I just picked up my first star jordans, the ten card subset from 86. All are Beckett 8's. I am very impressed by Becketts grading of these (love the sub grading) and will be on the lookout for others.

The Jordan 10 card subset is very underappreciated and a great place to start a Star basketball collection. You can still pick up BGS 9 cards from that subset for under $200 which is pretty astounding considering the limited print run on one of Jordan's earliest cards.

Alright, I'm late buying this, but it is still something I can easily flip down the line. It has two 9.5 sub-grades as well, which is cool.
I was actually going to purchase a BGS 8 at first, but when I saw that a 7.5 was going for $2000 - $2500 less, then I was like "screw that, I'll just go with the cheaper option!" Now I think I will have to go after the other big rookies in this set - Barkley will probably be next. Oh, and I find it awesome that this set has the true John Stockton RC as well (he was excluded from the 1986 and 1987 Fleer sets).

Second year. I hope it's real LOL although I have it on pretty good assurance that it is.

Samosa, that is a beautiful #101. Peter, your #117 is indeed legit and a 10 subgrade to boot definitely adds something extra.

There are a lot of collectors who want the 101, but don't have the funds. This is the reason why low-grade examples, like the BGS 3 you just pointed out, get a lot of action whenever they show up online.

My current two
Supers Auto 9, Court Kings 10. The Slam Dunk Supers is one of only two known signed MJ NBA rookies that are Gem Mint. The other is an Interlake I have. The Court Kings was a 9.5 also before signing & the only thing that changed was the grade.
If only I could go back & watch the guys on the previous page playing with MJ again.

Great thread!
I completely missed the boat on the Jordans and everything else but have picked up a bunch of Star cards recently and love them. Agree with a few earlier posters and consider these the true rookies for these HOFers. If you've got some Star cards, show them off! I love seeing all of them.            Arthur

I am loving this thread.
How are some of you getting really clear scans of your graded slabs? I'm trying to scan mine and they come nowhere close to presentable quality. Yet when I scan paper documents, they are super clear.  Are some of your photos actual pictures of the cards through a camera/phone instead of a flatbed scanner?

8.5 is the highest graded for the 288 if I'm not mistaken and there are less than 10 of those (I believe).
I was able to finally pick up an XRC Jordan at a local show.
