Bulls fit, iconic Jordan 1s on his feet, and the Chicago skyline in the background.
This is one of the most important sports photos ever taken, and yet, it's one of the most overlooked cards in the hobby.
Jordan's famous '85 Fleer Rookie has over 30,000 known copies. This rookie year promo card produced by Nike? Only about 5,000.
I found it at a sports card convention in Chicago about a year and a half ago. I was hunting for rare Jordan memorabilia. As a 90s kid, my nostalgia for Jordan's years with the Bulls is a force.
I paid about $600 for what I believe is a more important and much rarer rookie photo of Jordan compared to his 85 Fleer rookie.
Undervalued pieces that others overlook. That's exactly what I'm always hunting.

Michael Jordan's "Jumpman" logo is on nearly every jersey. This is the photo that started it all.
