Description: BIG BULK SALE ON ENTIRE INVENTORY!!! Looking to liquidate fast, I am offering my entire current eBay inventory at 25% off! Partial acquisition is possible, but not the goal. Current inventory (as of July 1, 2023) is at approximately $175,000, but may differ daily. Contact Seller for details. Only serious, reputable eBayers need inquire. * * * * * * * * This iconic card is truly history in your hand when you are holding it! It appears that it went from pack or factory set straight to the professional grading process. The numbers and chronology evidence supports that assertion... SBC (Superlative Baseball Card certification) was one of the early card-grading companies. It was established by Joe Merkle in 1988 and operated until the mid-nineties, at which point it was bought out by the owners of Sportscard Guaranty (SGC), who then partnered with Mr. Merkle for a time to help get their new card-grading company rolling. Merkle brought his SBC 100-point grading scale to SGC. Today, SGC along with Professional Sports Authenticators (PSA) and Beckett Grading Services (BGS) are the foremost leaders in the industry, but SBC has a respected place in history as the pioneering company that preceded them all. This specific card is very likely one of the earliest of its kind to be graded and slabbed. How can we know that? We know that SBC began grading in 1988 (within a year or less after this card came out) and the Certification # (1,376) is very low, meaning that this card was almost certainly graded in '88, long before PSA, BGS, or SGC even existed. So, not only is this one of the finest '86 Fleer Michael Jordan cards you'll find at this price, but it is also a special piece of the history of the Jordan RC and card-grading in general. I'm proud to share the story of its heritage and to own it, and I know that you will be too! FOR COMPARISON, I HAVE INCLUDED A COUPLE PHOTO EXAMPLES OF OTHER EARLY SBC-GRADED CARDS (1 BASEBALL & 1 BASKETBALL). NOT MINE BTW, THEY WERE BOUGHT/SOLD BY OTHERS ON EBAY SOME TIME AGO. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER SBC-GRADED CARDS FOR SALE ON EBAY AS WELL. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any questions, please get in touch.
