Description
1997 Upper Deck SPx Michael Jordan (Grand Finale) #6 BGS NM-MT+ 8.5 - #'d 14/50. Michael Jordan, at the height of his dominance in 1997, was leading the Chicago Bulls toward their second three-peat, solidifying his legacy as the greatest player in NBA history. That same year, Upper Deck SPx pushed the boundaries of premium basketball card design with the release of the Grand Finale parallel, an ultra-rare, high-end subset limited to just 50 copies. This edition stands out with its intricate die-cut design, bold gold foil graphics, and holographic elements, making it one of the most visually striking Jordan inserts of the 1990s.The 1997 SPx Grand Finale #6 is among the most sought-after Michael Jordan parallels ever produced, as the extreme scarcity and innovative aesthetics set it apart from other inserts of the era. The die-cut shape and delicate foil make high-grade examples particularly difficult to find, as these cards were prone to chipping and surface wear. With only 50 copies in existence, this issue remains a grail-level collectible, especially for Jordan collectors focused on rare 1990s inserts.
Graded BGS NM-MT+ 8.5 with subgrades: Centering 10, Corners 8, Edges 8.5, Surface 9.5, this example is a well-preserved and highly desirable piece, showcasing both the brilliance of Upper Deck's late-90s innovation and Jordan's enduring impact on the hobby. As the rarest parallel from the 1997 SPx set, the Grand Finale edition holds a special place in the history of premium basketball cards, cementing its status as a true collector's treasure. Limited edition - #'d 14/50.
