Market outlook

Stable Outlook 5/10

Steady collector interest in Jordan cards persists, but high supply caps appreciation; prices hold due to nostalgia without significant growth.

Next months. Stable with minor fluctuations from grading submissions.

Long term. Stable to slight decline as supply outpaces demand for commons.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for scratches, fingerprints, or clouding on the holographic 3D surface; common flaws include edge wear, centering issues, and surface scratches from mishandling the lenticular effect.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with soft sleeves to protect the 3D hologram; avoid direct light exposure to prevent fading; keep at stable temperature and humidity.

Authenticity. Verify Upper Deck holograms and card stock thickness; fakes often have blurry 3D effects or incorrect Bulls logo fonts; prefer graded/graded copies; check print patterns against authenticated sales images.
