Offered here is Michael Jordan's XRC, issued two years before Fleer entered the market. These were issued in team bags and very limited, with most of the Jordan singles being badly off-center. This is No. 101 in the set, with subgrades of 8 for centering, 8.5 for corners and 9 for edges and surface, resulting in a final grade of BGS 8.5. Of the 489 of these Beckett has graded, only 33 have graded higher. In comparison, more than 14,000 Fleer Jordan rookies have been graded. In addition, according to Star Company's original sales materials and order forms, reportedly 3,000 team bags were printed for each team.
