Top 20 Most Valuable 1990 NBA Hoops Basketball Cards! (PSA graded) 

I can’t believe I came across this RU-vid video. I wasn’t even looking for it. I have nearly this entire set. I have lots of duplicates too. This is nuts. 🤯

your video on this set last year is what got me to go through all my old boxes of cards. I have multiple copies of nearly all these cards. Which is pretty much the definition of said Junk Wax Era. It was fun going through them. No plans on selling or grading as the odds are against it being worth going through all that. But the point of collection cards as a kid is to go through memory lane later on in life. And that was beyond a fun experience.

The Sam Vincent card is awesome. That’s the one game that Michael Jordan had to wear an unnamed jersey number 12 because someone stole his regular jersey. Great videos glad I found the channel!

I have everyone of these right now and have never had them rated. They are all in a case and have been in plastic since I purchased them when I was 11 years old. I'll be 43 this year.

Crazy to think I had all of these cards as a kid growing up 😔😤

These videos are amazing thank you! I just opened all my boxes sealed from back in the day I have most all of these cards untouched condition. Going to send them to get graded. These videos motivated me

Seeing those packs takes me back to my dad, brother and I spending hours upon hours in card shops and shows. The smell came to me as soon as I saw the pack. Good times.

The reason the Mark Jackson #205 is so valuable is because the Menendez brothers (Eric and Lyle) are sitting court side to the far left of Jackson. Lyle confirmed that they attended the game a month after they murdered their parents and just months before they were investigated as the prime suspects. In case you don't know, they're both serving life in prison for the murders.

God, I miss that old magic logo. I grew up in Orlando and was at the game when Jordan had the 12 jersey. Bulls games were so different from every other game.

The Mark Jackson card is valuable because of the Menendez brothers in the background ("picture was taken after the murders/before they were caught")

Me too! The good old days before SHAQ came in. Prices doubled after that.

A lot of people don’t understand the lore of the Sam Vincent card. It wasn’t just because of it being MJ. That card is the only card ever made featuring Jordan in his infamous #12 jersey. Quick story, Bulls showed up in Orlando for just a regular away game and someone in the back had snuck in and stolen MJ’s game jersey. The only other jersey they had that he could wear was a generic #12 jersey with no name on the back. That was the game featured on this card, which is what drives the price of it up so high.

First time watching your channel, great video. I’ve recently been organizing all my cards, I have quite a few 90s Hoops cards.

I had that entire set. My 16 year old brother sold it to a pawn shop for $20 bucks back in 2003... when I was at work.

I have all of these and more in my basement. Had no idea they were worth anything. Thanks for the video!

I need to go back through my cards. History road. Thank you

I love that you rippevd on Dee haha !!! I have a few of these sets from when I was younger, I love them.

I just picked up a ton of these cards for 60 total... Minus the mj's... All mint condition. Sending them out to PSA this week

You do such a great job on these videos! So helpful. Thanks for all your good work! I certainly give you props on my videos for all the legwork you do!

Great info. What’s the difference in the PSA grading and how do you know which one you have?

Hoops had great looking cards. I have this in storage back home

I had so many Cards from the 90's. All lost in Storage when my family went through a major money issue when I was a kid. My Little brother also had a ton of those original super valuable Pokémon cards. 2 or 3 each of some. Not sure what he did with them.

Great info! I too like many of your viewers have 30 year old cards in hard cases! Have not touched in a box! Where can I get these cards graded? Thanks!

Didn't even mention the Menendez brother in the 1990 hoops mark jackson thats the only reason that card had any popularity...

Wow! Alotta Jordan and Sam Vicent steals the title!LOL Great video! First time watcher!!

I have every card on this list multiple times with the exception of the Mark Jackson Menendez Brothers background card. DCOG

The Marc Jackson card has the famous killers of their parents, the Menendez brothers sitting front row just to the left of Jackson. How funny!

Congratulations! I'm a fan of the Bird. Didn't realize that about the price cards. Great video

I have that #2 Michael Jordan card. I actually mailed it to him with a letter when I was a kid maybe around 10 yrs old at the time and I was asking for an autograph and he just mailed it back to me unsigned with his initials on the letter but I doubt it was Michael Jordan really initialing it. But that Mark Jackson card is one of the most popular cards because it has the Menedez twins sitting court side after having murdered their parents and going in a spending spree before eventually being arrested and charged for the murders. One of those cards that more popular for the people in the background than for the actual player on the court.

I started my collection of all these cards back in 89 and I’m 47 now I’m going to pass them onto my son so he can hold on to them for another 50 years hopefully! And Who knows what they’ll be worth 50 years from now!!!

Congrats guy im a new subscriber but love the content already

I have about 3 full sets of these , untouched in albums since the day they were opened

My parents bought this whole set for me on my 10th birthday from our local card collectable store 32 years ago

When I was a kid, I brought a whole box of these 1990 hoops cards. They are probably in a box at my parents. They already open, I know I have at least 10 of those Sam Vincent cards. I need to find my old cards

Pretty crazy gringo pretty crazy I got a bunch and the skybox. Member like yesterday in Rockville God bless those days and airwalk shoes lol

The Sam Vincent card was intresting. With Jordan wearing #12. After they found out his was stolen they sent out about 5 people to search the stadium inside and outside to find a red 23 with Jordan on back. Never found one. Could you Imigine loaning one to them and getting it back autographed after he scored 49points. That's life, being in the right place at the right time.

My new favourite channel!

This was my first complete set of cards, still got them all.

I spent the whole part of the early 90s collecting these cards as a hobby and I think that I still have a few michael Jordan cards in my Mom's storage but they are kinda damaged by now.

I have so many of these cards still. I was just looking at them.

Bought the Jordan #65 PSA 10 in Jan 2022 for $350 USD. Super low pop psa 10 as theres obviously ridiculous amount of centering issues. One of the most iconic jordan cards. That dunk shot is so epic.

Congratulations on making a year buddy, keep on the good work.

I have most of those cards in my collection in a card binder. Sitting in it for 33 years. All in very good condition. Worth grading?

Can't believe Bill Cartwright drove that #1 cards value up...

They made these cards in the millions as you can see everybody’s got them including me.

No arm or leg sleeves, no social media and no excuses. I miss good basketball.

Congrats on your RU-vid 1 year anniversary! Love these cards! I ripped a couple of boxes when I was much younger! Love the stories behind the Mark Jackson and Sam Vincent cards! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!

Dam good to know video i have all these cards wild..

Great info. Have to get a few of these graded myself lol

I just got that color Jordan card awhile back. I didn't know it was that much. Great video !!! Subscribe

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary on YT. You did a whole lot better than me on my channel lol. I think I am already over my year mark as well. You know the coincidence of this video Steve? I am trying to complete my PSA registry on the Kemp rookies @ PSA 10. There are only 3 on the checklist and this hoops one I have been shopping for this week. Freaking scary shit lol.

Great video. Just one question. Why are all mine gold?

I had a lot of these cards and I used them as price tags for my vintage clothing

Great day to celebrate. My mother was born on April 1, 1922.

Used to love cards now 30 years later I see this on RU-vid. Knowing I have at least some of these cards.

Great job brother. 😎

Hey great video. I have 6 jordan cards and a couple Hakeem could I send you pictures and you tell me if they have value?

I still have all my old school basketball cards this packs back then they used to cost me 25 cents I used to buy 4 packs for one dollar but one day I decided to buy the whole box for $19.99 so I bought it boxes used to cost low nowadays they cost alot the highest box I paid was $49.99 1996 Upper Deck Collectors Choice cool cards that I still have them all mint condition I have 5 folders full of 90s basketball cards. And one full folder of 80s basketball cards that my cousin gave to me he said he didn't want them he gave me those cards in 1995 I see Michael Jordan cards there I won't sell them never.

Wow can’t believe this video. I have 2 of those Sam Vincent cards and they are not PSA graded but are in excellent condition. I wonder if it costs money to get a card graded??

Remember when Basketball was AWESOME.........

Is there a market for old Beckett's? just curious? like issue # 1,2,3. Football/Basketball

Well damn I have over half of those cards, I guess I better hold on to them another 20 years lol!

Question, I have a couple of these but they're not worth anything unless graded 9 or 10 right? Is there a point in getting them graded? I guess I could do it if I thought they were 9 or 10??

Also with that Mark Jackson Card, the Menendez brothers were sitting in the background. It was said supposedly after the murder of the parents.

New to you, but I dig your content!!!

I feel you buried the lead as to why that Sam Vincent card was so valuable. Not just because Michael Jordan is in the picture but that he's wearing a #12 jersey. That night in Orlando he had his jersey stolen & that 12 Bulls jersey was all they had for him to wear.

I have question, I look to sell some my card how go about doing it, also on your list I have some of the cards on your list like Michael Jordan, Gary P and others

I own the shawn kemp rookie card, larry bird card and also charles barkley, domnique wilkins and patrick ewing cards. i have severl 1990 nba hoops cards and football, baseball cards from the 90's but dont know where to take them to be looked at or sold.

I have that Sam Vincent and mark Jackson with the Mendez brothers in the background LOL

Dude, I have this whole set twice over, sitting in my closet, in card boxes, all flawless condition with no UV light seen since new... how much is a set worth??? I have well over 50 MJ cards, Skybox...

Great video. If I would of invested all the money I spent on cards in the 90’s and early 2000’s I could probably pay my house off 😂. I kept all of my “good” cards and sold my bulk cards at a garage sale 10 years ago. Some lucky kid is the owner of at least 10 Sam Perkins cards 😉

Congrats on one year. Curious to where you get your pop numbers from?

How do I get my cards graded? I have that #2 Jordan and a few others.. I also have that same Jordan with a yellow surround instead of grey! Really curious as I have many old cards and I’m thinking of starting to sell them. Ty for any info!

I had multiple of those #9 Shawn Kemp rookie cards back in my basketball card collecting days in the 90’s cause he was my favorite player growing up. Unfortunately I’m not sure what ever even happened to all my basketball cards now all these years later.

I was surprised by this as well. I have sets and singles from this and other series.

Great video! Question - I have multiples of many of these cards especially Michael Jordan in mint condition. They have been in a plastic case for 20 to 30 years. What should I do?

Same here, I got most if not all of these, plus 2 or 3 copys of some

ok, how do you get the psa prices when they charge insane amounts to grade cards? Any card grading resources you'd recommend? Any sales outlets you would recommend?

I have all but the Isaiah. Back when I was 9 buying the 40 cent packs.

I do have shawn kemp rc card and mark jackson too

Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary from your first upload! Have greatly enjoyed the vids in the past year and it’s helped with some card moves, as well.

If I have a misprint of one of these cards is it worth getting graded?

I got this entire set in plastic in a binder

I have almost every card you had on this video. How much would psa charge to grade them?

I have so many cards. Grew up late 80’s -and 90’s. I’m sure there is some value because I traded for awhile. But now they are all in my garage. Not sure what to do

I have a lot of these cards as well. Is it safe to say no matter the shape they are in if right off the bat it’s not perfectly centred , that it’s not a psa 10 or even 9?

I have lots of NBA cards. is it worth grading Them?

So I have a PSA 10 Sam Vincent but have no clue as to what platform to sale it through. Can anyone offer assistance?

Is having the nba hoops 1990 complete set worth anything

Great content

Congrats to 1 year!!!

Congrats on 1 year anniversary 👏

Great Video

Is there a video you can direct me to so I can understand what the terminology means (psa9 etc)?

I have over 3,500 of those packs unopened the Michael Jordan in this set I have over 300 opened. How much is a whole set of 1959 Topps baseball cards worth I got the whole 1959 Topps baseball card set.

Ah hell, I had to of those Sam Vincent cards back then.

Sweet video!

I have over 300 cards for sale. Where do I sale these cards?

I have the entire set! Haven't touched them in over 15 years, pristine in a box. What's it worth?

I have a Cal Ripken top stadium error card 1992 i was wondering how much is it worth
