The item in question is a collectible trading card featuring Michael Jordan and commemorating his participation in the 1989 National Basketball Association All-Star Game. These cards, typically rectangular pieces of cardboard or cardstock, often include a photograph of the athlete, biographical information, statistics, and the team logo. An example would be a 1989 Fleer Michael Jordan All-Star card, graded by a professional authentication service, and sold at auction.
Its significance stems from a combination of factors: the player’s iconic status, the popularity of collecting sports memorabilia, and the card’s relative scarcity and condition. Such items can represent a tangible link to a specific moment in sports history and offer potential investment value. The year 1989 falls within a period often considered a “golden age” for basketball card collecting, further enhancing its desirability.
