Michael Jordan PSA 10 Card Prices Surge on Strong November Sales

Michael Jordan PSA 10 Market Heats Up With Strong November Sales

Recent eBay sales from November 20 and 21, 2025, show continued strength in PSA 10 Michael Jordan cards across multiple eras. From early 1990s base issues to 1990s inserts and low-pop 2000s Upper Deck releases, collectors are paying solid premiums for high-grade examples of the game’s most collected player.

Core Early 1990s Jordan Bases Still Commanding Respect

Several foundation Jordan cards from the late 1980s and early 1990s posted strong PSA 10 results, reinforcing how stable his mainstream vintage-era market remains.

  • 1989-90 Hoops #200 - PSA 10 GEM MT sold for $150 plus delivery. This is one of the first widely available, cleanly designed Jordan base cards of the modern era, featuring him in classic Bulls red. It continues to be a key “entry level” graded Jordan for many collectors.
  • 1990-91 SkyBox #41 - A PSA 10 brought $380 on a Best Offer listing with free delivery, while another copy sold from the PSA Vault at $500. The iconic early SkyBox design, with a colorful, almost futuristic background, has become one of the most recognizable Jordan cards of the 1990s. The fact that two sales hit such different levels within two days underscores how negotiation and timing still matter.
  • 1991 Fleer #29 - PSA 10 sold for $315 Buy It Now. This card shows Jordan in full-flight scoring form, and the 1991 Fleer set is a hobby staple. In PSA 10, it remains a mid-range target for collectors who want a vintage-era Jordan that is not yet out of reach.
  • 1991-92 NBA Hoops #253 - PSA 10 went for $129 Buy It Now. A classic early 90s Jordan, Hoops cards have long been widely collected, and PSA 10 examples now clearly separate themselves from raw copies.
  • 1991 SkyBox #39 - PSA 10 sold for $147.50 after 31 bids. Another colorful SkyBox design, this card shows Jordan in motion and continues to see steady graded demand.
  • 1991 SkyBox #334 - Two PSA 10 copies sold at $88.00 and $82.81 via auction. The repeat sales in the same range give collectors a real market snapshot for this secondary SkyBox Jordan from the same year.
  • 1991-92 Fleer League Leaders #220 - A raw copy described as new sold for $99.99 plus delivery. While not slabbed, the price level hints at what a high-grade example can do once it hits a PSA 10 holder.

Jordan’s early 1990s base issues are the cards many collectors grew up with. As a six-time NBA champion and global icon, he represents the peak of 1990s basketball, and his mainstream cards are the backbone of many PC builds. PSA 10 examples continue to enjoy rising separation in value over raw and lower grades.

Upper Deck Era: 1991 Focus On Star Power And Storylines

Upper Deck capitalized early on Jordan’s star power, and PSA 10s from those years are seeing solid demand.

  • 1991 Upper Deck #44 - Multiple PSA 10 sales: $139.50 via 20 bids on Nov 21 and $115.50 via 26 bids on Nov 20. The card captures Jordan in classic Bulls action, and the Upper Deck photography and white borders remain appealing to collectors who favor clean, modern designs.
  • 1991 Upper Deck #22 - PSA 10 realized $76.00 via auction. This card is a less hyped Jordan from the set but still draws consistent attention in gem mint.
  • 1991 Upper Deck #34 Magic Johnson vs Michael Jordan - PSA 10 copies sold at $100.44 Buy It Now and $97.00 via auction. This matchup card pairs two of the game’s most important stars from the era, and in PSA 10 it has become a nice narrative piece that connects the Lakers-Celtics era to the rise of the Bulls.
  • 1991 Upper Deck #48 All-Star Checklist - PSA 10 closed at $102.50. As an All-Star themed card featuring Jordan, it offers an affordable way to add a different look to a Jordan run.
  • 1991 Upper Deck #69 East All-Star - PSA 10 examples sold at $88.00 via auction, $84.99 Buy It Now, and $79.25 Best Offer. Three nearly back-to-back sales show a tight band for this All-Star card in gem mint.
  • 1991 Upper Deck #75 Bulls Checklist - PSA 10 reached $86.00 via auction. Jordan appears on the checklist, and these secondary cards now carry real weight when they feature star players.
  • 1991 Upper Deck Promos #1 - PSA 10 hit $177.50 with 43 bids, signaling demand for early Upper Deck promotional Jordans.
  • 1991 Hoops Team Night Sheets Perforated - PSA 10 sold for $125.49 after 10 bids, reflecting strong interest in oddball and perforated Jordan issues when they reach top grade.

These Upper Deck and Hoops issues reflect Jordan’s peak years as the league’s dominant force. By 1991 he was an NBA champion and MVP, and card companies were building sets and subsets around him as a central storyline. PSA 10 prices here show that even checklists and specialty cards gain traction when they capture Jordan’s image in clean, high-grade form.

All-Star, MVP, And Insert Themes Driving Premiums

Collectors continue to focus on themed cards that highlight Jordan’s accolades, not just base issues.

  • 1991 Hoops Slam Dunk #IV - PSA 10 sold for $537.23 with 45 bids. This is a standout result for an early 90s Hoops insert, centered heavily on Jordan’s legendary aerial game.
  • 1991 Hoops All-Star MVPs #IX - PSA 10 brought $103.50. The card celebrates Jordan’s All-Star success, which dovetails with his reputation as a showtime performer on the biggest stages.
  • 1992 Upper Deck MVP #67 - PSA 10 hit $93.00 after 28 bids. An MVP-themed insert in a key Upper Deck year underscores his status as the best player in the league.
  • 1992 Topps All-Star #115 - Two PSA 10 results show a tight range: $107.50 via 13 bids on Nov 21 and $92.00 with 13 bids on Nov 20. This card hits a sweet spot: widely recognizable Topps branding, All-Star framing, and a price point that remains accessible in PSA 10 while showing steady liquidity.
  • 1992 Ultra All-NBA #4 - PSA 10 achieved a strong $549.99 or Best Offer. Ultra’s glossy stock and sharp photography, paired with an All-NBA theme, make this a premium early 90s Jordan chase in top grade.

Collectors know Jordan is defined by winning: 6 championships, 5 regular-season MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, and multiple All-Star MVPs. Cards that explicitly showcase those achievements often track above standard base issues, especially as PSA 10 pops tighten over time.

Mid 1990s Premium Inserts And High-End Issues

The mid 1990s marked the explosion of insert technology and parallel design, and Jordan sat at the center of that boom. Recent sales show that PSA 10s from this era remain highly sought after.

  • 1993 Stadium Club Michael Jordan Collection #169 and Beam Team #4 - A PSA 10 and PSA 9 combo lot sold for $910 after 3 bids. Beam Team is one of the most recognizable insert lines of the early 90s, and any Jordan Beam Team in high grade is a centerpiece card.
  • 1993 Topps Stadium Club Frequent Flyers #181 - PSA 10 sold via Buy It Now for $199.98. The name fits Jordan perfectly, capturing his in-air style that defined the “Air Jordan” brand on and off the court.
  • 1993 Hoops #28 - PSA 10 realized $115 after 28 bids. While a standard issue, this card shows that even mid-90s bases continue to hold value in gem mint as collectors build out year-by-year runs.
  • 1993 Fleer #28 - PSA 10 sold for $164.72 with 38 bids. The Fleer version from this season outperformed Hoops, hinting at slightly stronger demand or scarcer gem copies.
  • 1995 Fleer Metal Nuts & Bolts #212 - PSA 10 sold for $365.00 or Best Offer. Metal inserts are a major Jordan lane, and the industrial-themed Nuts & Bolts set has a loyal following, particularly in high grade where chipping and surface issues are common.
  • 1995 Finest #229 - PSA 10 realized $999.99 Buy It Now from the PSA Vault. Finest is a flagship chromium brand, and mid-90s Finest Jordans are highly condition-sensitive due to coating and surface issues. A PSA 10 here is clearly viewed as a premium asset.
  • 1995 Hoops #358 - PSA 10 sold for $1,099 Buy It Now. That strong level shows that select mid-90s Hoops Jordans, particularly those with notable photography or lower gem populations, can trade well above standard base pricing.
  • 1995 Jam Pac Magazine Julius Erving / Michael Jordan #13-14 - PSA 10, pop 6, sold for $162.50 after 15 bids. Magazine issues remain niche, but pairing Jordan with Julius Erving, a similar above-the-rim pioneer, gives this oddball piece real hobby interest in PSA 10.

By the mid 1990s, Jordan was firmly established as the face of the NBA. Card companies leaned into bold designs, foils, die-cuts, and magazine-related issues, and today’s PSA 10 premiums reflect the difficulty of keeping those cards pristine for nearly three decades.

Late 1990s Jordan And Kobe Crossovers

One of the standout results from this batch centers on the crossover between Jordan’s era and the rise of Kobe Bryant.

  • 1998-99 Upper Deck Jordan Tribute MJ Reflections #MJ89 - PSA 10 sold for $249.99 or Best Offer. This Tribute set documents key moments and themes from Jordan’s career late in his Bulls run.
  • 1998 UD MJ Living Legend #147 Michael Jordan / Kobe Bryant The Jordan Files - PSA 10 hit $2,575 via a 69-bid auction, while another copy sold at a Buy It Now price of $3,295. This card pairs Jordan with Kobe, the player most often compared to him in style, mentality, and scoring ability. As Kobe’s market has surged, crossover cards featuring both icons have become high-demand centerpieces.

For collectors who see Jordan and Kobe as bookends of a similar style of wing scoring dominance, these late 90s dual-feature issues offer both historical significance and strong long-term appeal.

2000s And 2010s: Low Pop, Legacy, And Chrome

Jordan’s playing days ended in the early 2000s, but his cardboard presence stayed strong through Upper Deck and Topps releases that leaned on nostalgia, legacy, and updated designs.

  • 2001-02 Upper Deck Ovation #90 - Raw “New (Other)” example sold for $55.00 or Best Offer. Ovation used textured card stock and premium photography, making high-grade versions attractive targets for slabbing.
  • 2001 Topps Chrome #95 - PSA 10 sold for $499.95 or Best Offer. This is a crossover-era card reflecting his time with both the Bulls and Wizards, and as a chrome issue it has become a key Jordan target for collectors who focus on the early 2000s chromium boom.
  • 1997 Topps Generations Die-Cut #G2 - PSA 10 sold for $1,099.99 Buy It Now. Although from 1997, it behaves more like a 2000s-style premium insert: die-cut, star-centric, and condition-sensitive. In PSA 10 it commands a true high-end price.
  • 2008 UD Lineage Mr. June MJ-15 - PSA 10 realized $199.99 or Best Offer. The “Mr. June” title refers directly to Jordan’s dominance in the NBA Finals, where he never lost a series and claimed six Finals MVP awards.
  • 2009 Upper Deck Legacy Gold #33 - PSA 10 sold for $99.00 or Best Offer with free delivery. The Legacy set chronicles Jordan’s career and has multiple short-printed runs, making gold PSA 10s an affordable but meaningful addition for collectors focused on post-playing-era Jordans.
  • 2009 Michael Jordan Legacy Collection (USA) - A low-pop raw card sold for $34.33 via 11 bids, reflecting that even ungraded Legacy cards have steady interest when they refer to his global and Team USA impact.
  • 2016 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions #1 - PSA 10 sold for $65.00 or Best Offer. Goodwin features Jordan outside a standard NBA set structure and offers a modern, clean, non-licensed look. For some, it is a low-cost way to own a recent-era gem mint Jordan.

These later releases tap into Jordan’s legacy status: three-time champion in a row twice over, a global figure who made the NBA truly worldwide, and a player whose brand power extended far beyond the court. Low-pop PSA 10s from these years can offer both affordability and scarcity, which appeals to collectors looking beyond the traditional Bulls-era base cards.

Oddballs, Stickers, And Cross-Brand Highlights

Beyond traditional pack-pulled cards, the recent sales list also includes a few interesting side pieces.

  • 1990 Panini Sticker #K (Hand Cut) - PSA 10 sold for $220 Buy It Now. Panini stickers are notoriously tough in high grade due to centering and cutting, and a hand-cut PSA 10 is especially notable.
  • 1992 Upper Deck McDonald’s Chicago Bulls #CH4 - PSA 10 went for $216.69 with 39 bids. Fast-food tie-in issues like this McDonald’s Bulls card blend mainstream marketing with hobby history, and Jordan remains the centerpiece of almost every Bulls-themed release of that time.
  • 1997 Topps #21 Todd Day (Jordan defending) - PSA 10 sold for $53.21 (best offer accepted). Even when Jordan is not the named subject on the card, any PSA 10 that prominently shows him can find a niche collector base, especially when population numbers are as low as a pop 5.

These cards highlight how deep the Jordan market runs. Collectors are not just chasing flagship rookies or obvious inserts. They are targeting any PSA 10 that offers strong photography, a unique issue type, or a historical tie to Jordan’s prime years.

What The Market Is Saying About Michael Jordan In PSA 10

The sales from November 20 and 21 show a few clear themes for collectors:

  • Early 1990s base Jordans in PSA 10 are holding firm and in some cases rising, with SkyBox and Fleer seeing especially strong prices.
  • Insert and themed cards that highlight dunking, All-Star play, MVP awards, and championships are commanding notable premiums in gem mint condition.
  • Mid 1990s premium brands like Finest, Metal, and Stadium Club inserts continue to be high-ticket items when they surface as PSA 10.
  • Late 1990s and 2000s legacy and dual-star cards, especially those pairing Jordan with Kobe Bryant, are becoming important long-term holds.
  • Oddball, perforated, magazine, and promotional issues are no longer overlooked. In PSA 10 they are gaining recognition for their scarcity and storytelling value.

Above all, these results reinforce Jordan’s position as the central figure in basketball collecting. From his scoring titles and six rings to his global impact and unmatched competitive aura, every era of Jordan’s career has produced cards that matter. In PSA 10, those cards are increasingly treated as blue-chip pieces, with buyers willing to pay strong prices to secure the sharpest examples available.
