Description
1997 SkyBox E-X2001 Michael Jordan (Essential Credentials Future) #9 BGS NM-MT 8 - #'d 35/72. Michael Jordan, already cemented as a six-time NBA champion and global icon by the late 1990s, continued to inspire awe both on the court and in the hobby. The 1997 SkyBox E-X2001 Essential Credentials Future card, #9, is a product of one of the most groundbreaking and visually captivating insert sets ever produced during the peak of 1990s innovation. Serial-numbered 35/72, this ultra-rare parallel belongs to a short-printed subset that redefined what collectors could expect from high-end, chase-level inserts.The card's design is nothing short of spectacular, featuring a translucent acetate stock layered with bold red-to-hot pink gradient tones that shimmer under light, creating a dynamic, futuristic visual experience. Metallic foil graphics and lettering add a further element of sophistication, contrasting against the transparent background and drawing the eye to the precision detail of the E-X2001 design. The layout is sleek and minimalist, placing Jordan front and center while integrating cutting-edge printing technology and bold aesthetics that helped elevate the late-'90s insert era into a golden age of card collecting.
Graded BGS NM-MT 8 with subgrades: Centering 9.5, Corners 7.5, Edges 8, Surface 8, this card represents a highly desirable example of one of Jordan's most sought-after modern inserts. As part of the Essential Credentials Future lineup-an offshoot of one of the hobby's most revered designs-it holds a place of historical significance, merging scarcity, innovation, and star power in a way few cards have matched. Revered by collectors for both its beauty and rarity, this card symbolizes a period in the hobby where creativity met cultural legend at the highest level. Limited edition - #35/72.
