Condition Details
Surface appears clean with typical minor scratching on foil. Centering looks slightly shifted to the right. Corners appear sharp based on image resolution, but the bottom right edge shows minor silvering.
Grading Recommendation
Yes, if the surface is free of deep scratches. Michael Jordan inserts from 1990s Metal Universe sets carry significant premiums in high grades (9 or 10).
Card Description
Features Michael Jordan in a red Chicago Bulls away jersey (#23) rising for a dunk against a defender. The left side features a heavy metallic 'JORDAN' text with a riveted steel plate texture. The right side features a glittery holofoil background with the player's name in script.
Notable Features
Steel-plate riveted aesthetic on the left; etching/foil effect on the right; high-glitter surface typical of the Metal Universe brand.
Authentication Notes
The font of the 'Steel Slam' logo and the rivet detail appear consistent with authentic Fleer/Skybox production. The holofoil pattern correctly matches mid-90s Skybox printing tech.
