1985 Nike Promo Michael Jordan Signed, Inscribed "#23" Rookie Card - PSA EX-MT 6, PSA/DNA NM-MT 8

Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA, with Autograph Certified and graded NM-MT 8 by PSA/DNA (171689446). Hall of Famer, in a popular Rookie Card appearance. Here's the key card from the six-card multi-sports release that served as a 1985 Nike promotional piece during that company's endorsement relationship with Michael Jordan. Jordan has placed his flowing, attractive blue-ink signature across the cardfront. Importantly, Jordan included an incredibly uncommon "#23" inscription below his signature. As advanced Jordan autograph aficionados will recognize, "His Airness" rarely includes any additions or inscriptions alongside his signature; the majority of "#23" inscriptions extant are recognized as vintage, early career scriptings and are highly sought-after by collectors. The oversized card—measuring 3 1/8-by-5 1/4 inches—features Jordan soaring to the rim in his signature "Jumpman" style, an image that carries nostalgic memories for Jordan fans and basketball aficionados in general. Jordan's pronounced, clear autograph (almost never encountered on this entry) and "#23" inscription (almost never encountered on any Jordan entry) make this one of the most striking examples of this important, early career collectible. PSA has validated more than 4,200 copies of this piece in its census reporting; however, just 12 copies with PSA/DNA autograph grade (including this one) reside in the PSA/DNA census report. This is an intensely sought-after memento that serves as a testament to both the on-court greatness and off-court marketability of its inimitable subject.
