Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $50.00; PSA 10: $250.00 - $350.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $35-$45. PSA 9 copies have recently sold in the $100 range, while PSA 10 examples command a significant premium.
Condition Details
The card is housed in a top loader which shows significant scratching and cloudiness, making surface assessment difficult. The card itself shows good centering and sharp-looking corners through the plastic. Minimal edge whitening is visible.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if the surface is free of scratches beneath the top loader. Topps Gold Label cards are known for sensitive surfaces that scratch easily. If a PSA 10 is achievable, value increases tenfold; otherwise, keeping it raw is advised.
Card Description
Card features Michael Jordan in two action poses (a layout shot and a secondary background image) in his Chicago Bulls home and away jerseys. The 'Topps Gold Label' logo is prominently displayed in gold foil with a rainbow refraction.
Notable Features
Refractive 'Class' branding. This is the Class 1 version; Class 2 and Class 3 versions of the same card exist with different background designs and higher rarity levels.
Authentication Notes
Authentic. The refractive patterns on the gold foil and the high-gloss finish are consistent with 1998 Topps production standards. Font for 'Michael Jordan' nameplate matches known authentic examples.
