http://jordancards.com/blog/the-real...rt-steve-taft/ Taft is an original Star Co. dealer from the eighties. He is THE guy who worked with law enforcement and the lawyers of the NBA to bring down the Robert Levine / Home Shopping Network scandal. He is responsible for training Beckett, SCD, and GAI on how to authenticate genuine Star Co. issued cards and weed out the crap. Below is a more recent thread in which Taft commented. http://www.beckett.com/forums/thread...31-page-1.html And the current population numbers on the Star MJ 101 XRC supports all this and reflects the true rarity of the card. When compared to the 1986 Fleer, the pop report of the 1984 Star is not just low. It is ludicrously low. Using current, unbiased, real data from the pop reports of the Big 3 grading companies (PSA, BGS, SGC) will reveal the following eye-opening analysis: 1986 Fleer Jordan Total Pop = 14,655 + 7,920 + 1,431 = 24,006 1984 Star Jordan Total Pop = 384 24,006 vs. 384 That is an incredible 62 to 1 ratio. J If PSA ever grades the card will explode like a "supernova". Think about all the collectors that will need one for their psa registered "set(s)".

Mikan

That is an interesting ratio, very similar to the 1948 Bowman George Mikan Rookie. Between SGC and PSA there have been 319 graded and with Beckett, maybe another 20 or so. A PSA 8 Mikan also just set a world record for that card in that grade by selling for $16,800 in one of the recent high visibility auctions. Mike |

Rest assured that you can probably easily count on one hand the number of people in Zimbabwe that know who Mikan was, and have fingers to spare.
MJ on the other hand..... well known Globally
