Star BKB hread

This card looks narrow to me. Mine attached for comparison. I have never seen an unaltered version of this card that was centered.

Top right corner on that PSA 8 looks like it could be a bit suspect, no? I think you might be right, Peter.

Guess which Jordan cost $499 and which one cost -- wait for it -- $140,000?

Guessing the Beckett would fetch slightly more than $500 in today's market :)
|
Yes it would but it would not fetch even 5 percent of the PSA 8. This is the world we live in.
|
But PSA is always right, right?
|
There are people notorious for trimming Star BKB and getting them into Beckett slabs. Whether that continues with PSA, I dunno.
|
Peter, do you know when this card was released to the public compared to the #101? Did they come out at the same time, just different bags?

I found this on a Blowout thread where the question was posed and some original customers chimed in. I assumed the cards either 1984 on the flip came out that year, but it seems none of them did.
I’m thinking about going for an Olympic card myself — it may not be first, but being in the same release 94 cards later is still a rookie issue to me. |

But that guy’s recollection has to be wrong since the Jordan 195 and the 288 come in the same bag. |

What about the size on this one currently on eBay? If it’s crooked in the holder, doesn’t that seem off?

Most of these go in their bigger holders, with more room inside. So they’re actually oversized more than undersized. Here’s a comparison to one in a standard holder (way less common). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1ee2f7d9fb.jpg |
The 6 has a huge border on the left, it's fine.
I would not bet against Jarrett on anything to do with Star BKB. |

Who is Jarrett, Peter? Now you’ve got me thinking about the Court Kings instead. |

I went ahead and took the plunge:

Good move IMO. It's hard to go wrong with that card.

If that's your 8 -- my goodness, what a beauty. Just 801 total graded copies for this one compared to 1,746 for the #101 (and 35,000 for ‘86 Fleer) — I'm with you, it seems WAY undervalued. I also love that the pic is from the long-gone Market Square Arena in my home state. |

All the rookie year Jordan’s are RED HOT right now.

Star BKB has many key RCs but they have not caught on like Jordan who is unique in the hobby.
|
Great cards, Peter! They won’t approach MJ, but there’s a lot of increased interest in those two players. You can still get either Court Kings in an BGS 8.5 for around $400 — I don't think that's gonna last much longer.

I bought a PSA 4 for $3,675 one month ago exactly. This card is going CRAZY.
Peter there’s an 8.5 on Probstein right now — $14,000 w/ 2 days left — that’ll pretty much tell you what yours is up to now. Did you get that for $499 too?? |
I was a little late for that, 1500 ish.

THIS is FANTASTIC: https://goldin.co/item/1984-85-star-...gb3LJFs6pT4JzQ
|
And I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. I had and sold a Beckett 9 CK Jordan during the pandemic. There goes my Kona condo :(

I know a guy who sold a PSA 5 for $9,500 cash yesterday. That was a $5,000 card six weeks ago. |

FYI: If anyone is looking for a Jordan CK#26, I have a contact who currently has a PSA 4, 5, 6, and BGS 9 listed on eBay that I can connect you with who's happy to do discounted offsite sales. It's where I got mine.
|
The CK Jordan is priced at a small fraction of the 101, mostly because it's oversized I suppose. If one is priced out of the 101 market, it's a great alternative IMO. In hand, it's a visually stunning card, much more appealing than the 101.

How does this get an 8 when PSA grading Star is so hyper strict on centering? Even assuming it is full size.

Man I don't know how any card on the top or bottom of those bags could score a PSA 8.

I just picked these up for less than $500 all in combined, which seemed crazy to me.
|
Oversize cards just get relatively little love outside of maybe T3s. Value aside I'd rather have the CK Jordan than the 101 which I don't particularly like although the one I posted isn't bad I guess.
