1997 Metal Universe Championship Precious Gems PMG Michael Jordan /50 #23 BGS 9 Feb 16 Written By Crista Moreno PWCC proudly presents this 1997-98 Metal Universe Championship Precious Metal Gems Michael Jordan #23 BGS 9. Widely considered among the Holy Grails in the industry, this hardly-ever-seen masterpiece of a card features Jordan dunking on the Chicago Skyline. The formerly named Sears Tower is as clear as day in the background with a repeating circular pattern adding pizzazz to the design. This insert is extremely rare with only 50 manufactured—ten of which have earned the overall '9' assessment between Beckett and PSA -- and one of the most desired cards in the industry. This card has been a tremendous investment over the past few years given past sales—in May of 2018 a PSA 9 sold for $15,700 and then in December of 2020 a PSA 8 sold for $137,000. In the 1997-98 season, Jordan won his third straight title and sixth overall in the previous eight years. This season marked Jordan's final year with the Bulls. Jordan also won his third All-Star MVP award, outdueling rookie sensation Kobe Bryant at MSG. As generations of fans throughout the world grow older, their admiration for Michael Jordan and their memories of his extraordinary play will grow with them. The likely outcome is an increase in demand and prices for his cards, especially cards such as this one that so rarely hit the public market. PWCC recommends serious investors consider adding this iconic Michael Jordan insert to their collection. Crista Moreno
