Do you think this will have any impact on the pricing of the 1986 Fleer Jordan? Since this card was issued two years prior to the 1986-87 Fleer issue, the Star Jordan should be considered his “true” rookie card.

People have made that argument for decades with no effect. I doubt this will change the status of the 86F. The 101 should go up though, I would think.

This is great news! I had just got my 84-85 OLY Jordan (one of what is considered his 3 true rookies from that set) graded by BGS (literally arrived today) so maybe I'll do a crossover at some point, who knows.

The impact is going to be huge, I think, but not just MJ. Now the legitimate RCs and 2nd year cards of many of the HOF players in 1986 Fleer are going to get into PSA holders, not to mention mid-80s cards of guys line Magic and Bird. The only argument against the Star cards was that PSA wouldn't grade them so no registry sets could have them. Now they will.

Gonna get my Gatorade MJ crossed over...
