1998 SPX FINITE MICHAEL JORDAN #181 – SGC 8.5 NM-MT+ /3390

A Highly Desirable Serial-Numbered Insert Of Basketball’S Greatest Icon – Sgc Graded And Finite-Issued - Nba Basketball Chicago Bulls Goat 23

Overview:
Presented Here Is An Excellent Example Of The 1998 Spx Finite Michael Jordan #181, A Serial-Numbered Card Limited To 3390 Copies, And Graded Sgc 8.5 (Near Mint-Mint Plus). Issued During The Twilight Of Jordan’S Legendary Chicago Bulls Tenure, The Spx Finite Set Was Revolutionary For Its Time, Introducing A Fully Serial-Numbered Product Line With Holographic And Etched Foil Elements. This Particular Issue Captures Jordan During One Of His Final Title Runs And Stands As One Of The Earliest Mainstream Sets To Embrace The Concept Of Deliberate Scarcity In Sports Cards.

Key Features:
The Card Showcases A Dynamic Image Of Jordan In His Iconic Bulls No. 23 Kit, Surrounded By A High-Gloss, Foil-Stamped Backdrop With The Embossed Spx Finite Logo. The Reverse Side Carries The Unique Serial Number Confirming Its Place Within The Finite Print Run Of 3390 Copies. This Card Is Not Only Visually Striking But Also Marks A Turning Point In The Evolution Of Premium Basketball Inserts. The Sgc 8.5 Grade Reflects Outstanding Surface Condition, Clean Edges, And Strong Centring – A Commendable Preservation Of A 25-Year-Old, Condition-Sensitive Release.

Why This Card Is Collectable:
Spx Finite Was A Forerunner In The Premium Insert Era, And This Jordan Card Remains A Cornerstone Within The Set. With Production Strictly Limited And Every Card Individually Numbered, It Appeals Strongly To Collectors Who Value Defined Rarity And Precise Traceability. Moreover, This Release Came During Jordan’S Sixth And Final Nba Championship Season – A Detail Which Further Enhances Its Narrative And Desirability. As Demand Continues To Increase For 1990S Jordan Cards, Particularly Those With Official Print Limits, This Issue Represents A Smart And Historically Significant Acquisition.

Collector Appeal:
This Card Will Resonate With Collectors Of Serial-Numbered 1990S Inserts, Investors Focused On Jordan’S Late-Career Memorabilia, And Those Assembling High-Grade Runs Of Spx Finite. The Encapsulated Sgc 8.5 Grade Offers Peace Of Mind In Terms Of Authenticity And Condition, Making It Equally Suitable For Display Or Inclusion In A Graded Portfolio. It Is An Excellent Blend Of 1990S Nostalgia, Limited Supply, And Iconic Player Representation.
