The 84 Star is the True Rookie. The whole “pack pull” carries no weight when National Treasures is pulled from a “Briefcase.” The 85 Star is a 2nd year and the ‘86 Fleer is a 3rd year card.
Some speculate that Jordan's first card ever printed was the 1984-85 Star Court Kings 5x7. It doesn't receive as much love nor recognition as it was not your traditional sized card but instead the 5x7 version. Just throwing that card into the argument 🤔
Star Company is all short printed, so naturally, theyre going to be worth more in the longterm. While I dont own any Star Jordan cards, I did recently discover that I have a type III rookie portrait of Jordan, as well as a few late 80s type 1 Jordans. I think I'll be happy with those, since I'm mostly a photo collector, but I totally get why people want Star over Fleer. If I were doing cards, it would be Star everytime over Fleer...even 2nd year Star cards.
@@RWorfel1 I have a BGS 8.0 1984 Star Jordan and a raw 1986-87 Fleer Jordan (probably a 7 or 8). Recent sales on ebay have been $21,000 for the Star and under $5000 for the 8.0 BGS Fleer ((just over $6000 for the PSA 8 Fleer).
@@rocketfighter8 we can agree to disagree. The 86 Fleer is RC and looks way better. If it’s not the RC, tell that to everyone who has one listed for sale on eBay. They all say “rookie card” in the description. I guess everyone else is wrong, and you’re right
@@RWorfel1 Of course they're going to say it's the RC because they want to sell them. It would be foolish for them to call it his 3rd year card because they have a vested interest in selling. You said his Fleer is worth more. I proved you wrong.
