Stable Outlook 7/10
Recent 30-day raw price surge of +81.4% to $7.79 but overall accessible pricing reflects abundant supply; high-grades hold steady value[1].
Next months. Stable with potential minor fluctuations based on grading trends
Long term. Stable to rising for gem mint grades due to Jordan's GOAT status

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering issues common in mass-produced 1990 Hoops, edge wear, corner dings, surface scratches, and print defects like the rumored blurred hand above Bulls logo; print is often off-center.
Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading and warping.
Authenticity. Examine print quality, card stock thickness, and borders for fakes; verify against known errors like blurred hand (not confirmed major error); professional grading by graded/graded recommended for high value.
