![]() ![]() My other goal is I’m collecting that whole green set. Note: In February, Turner bought the Jordan PMG green for $350,100, setting an eBay auction record.ĭo wish you had kept that Kerry Kittles card? So I saw that Jordan in Beckett, and having that Kerry Kittles for a brief period of time, that was like a mythical card to me even back then. And the card shop game me 50 bucks for it in credit that I used to buy packs. But it was still a very rare card - it was only 10 of each of them (for each player’s set). And then I saw that green (Jordan) card.Ībout two weeks later I pulled a green Precious Metal Gems Kerry Kittles, unfortunately (Turner laughs). And I remember going through the Beckett (guide) looking for Kobe Bryant rookie-card prices because I had gotten a Bowman’s Best Refractor Kobe rookie (card). When Kobe was a rookie, which is the year before, ’96, I really got into him. I always liked the best players - Jordan was my guy. I was 11 (or 12) years old when that card came out. You knew even back then that you wanted it? I have all three, which I’m really proud of those.Īs far as Michael Jordan cards, I would say that the Metal green that you wrote about is my favorite that I’m most proud of. … There’s actually a LeBron-Kobe (and a Jordan-Kobe). So Jordan … also had one with Kobe, and I have that one too. I also bought the ( $900,000) dual Logoman with LeBron (James and Jordan) that came out. You actually wrote about it: the Precious Metal Gems green from ’97. Which Jordan card makes you most proud to own? I had them with stickers over them with what Beckett said they were worth at the time. I found my binder of Jordan and (Scottie) Pippen. There are tens of thousands of them and all of a sudden they’re worth something. None of them are very (valuable) - actually now, if you’ve followed it, some of these ’90s baseball cards of Jordan are like $1,000 if they’re gem mint. I had a lot of Michael Jordan baseball cards - but I found my stack, my binder of them the other day. I was buying a pack or two here or there, so it was really rare to pull something big the odds were never in my favor. ![]() (The Bulls) won the championship that year, man. You had to peel it away to see which player you got. It was like a mystery, right? It was like a black peel on the front of it. I pulled it in a pack at (Houston card shop) The Dugout. How did you find that Jordan ’95 card when you were a kid? I’d rather have pulled the card than owned the card, if that makes any sense. For me the chase really was more valuable than the card ownership at the time. It was probably like a $5 card back then, but to me, that was, you know, the card. This is like a really thick 1-inch plastic screw-downs. This Jordan cards obviously were in plastic. It’s just interesting to see what I thought was valuable back then. Not all of them, but like maybe 1% are in plastic sleeves or binders. … I have like boxes upon boxes of cards from when I was a kid. I’m at my parents’ home in North Carolina, and my mom found (it). As a kid he sent him three baseballs, and Hank Aaron sent all three back signed. He had sent them off to Hank Aaron - that was his favorite player. And he gave me a Hank Aaron-signed baseball when I was a kid too. ![]()
