For decades now, Michael Jordan cards have been some of the most coveted and valuable in the sports card hobby. Back when Jordan was winning NBA championships in bunches during the 1990s, manufacturers flooded the market with his basketball cards (and even some baseball, golf, movie cards, etc.). But some stood out from the mountains of others as the special few that every kid at the time seemed to be chasing.Last year, we looked back on the Jordan cards that everyone seemed to have in their binder pages. Now these are the cards that everyone (except maybe New York Knicks fans) wished they had.1993-94 Fleer Ultra Scoring Kings #51993 Fleer Ultra Scoring Kings insert. (Photo courtesy of PSA)This was arguably the most popular Jordan card produced in the ‘90s. Part of a 10-player insert set in Ultra Series 1 with odds of one in every 36 packs (about one per hobby box), they weren’t the rarest cards ever produced, but the image of Jordan mid-flight with bolts of lightning behind him was just about the coolest thing any kid at the time had ever seen.Today, PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator, the leading trading card grader) has graded more than 3,700 examples of the card, but only 97 have earned a Gem-Mint 10 grade, the highest possible. The last publicly known PSA 10 sale was in early April for $30,000, but even a PSA 8, with a population over 1,200, last sold for $4,000 (up from around $1,000 in the spring of 2025) as the nostalgia-laced love for this card continues to grip collectors more than 30 years later.
