[mikesilvia]

Here is the first edition of the STC High End Basketball Report. These cards are some of the more extraordinary cards on Ebay at the moment.

There is little doubt that Michael Jordan is the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. Even more so, Michael Jordan autographs and other high end cards go for big bucks and are in high demand. Putting this all aside the Holy Grail of basketball cards is getting a 1986 Fleer Rookie of Michael Jordan in Mint conditions. An ungraded Michael Jordan can go for well over $1,000. This beauty is a BGS 9.5 Gem Mint with two grades of 10 of the Holy Grail of basketball cards. I did find two other cards graded at 9.5 overall, but none of those had 10 ratings and none even had a consistent 9.5 for all 4 grades. At $25,000 BID it is far from prices to sell!

Not only is Chris Paul one of the rising stars in the NBA, this lot features 11 of the 50 Exquisite rookies made! Did I mention one of them is graded BGS 9.5? The image above is of one of the more color patches, but you are going to have to visit the auction to see the other 10.

This is definately one of the coolest basketball cards I have ever seen. The card was made from the floor from Michael Jordan's last game against the Jazz. It is signed and stamped 1/1. All I can say is WOW!

One day we may be talking about MJ and Lebron James as the two greatest players ever. This card is likely the highest graded card with three 10s. Since there are only 50 of these cards in existence, I think it is safe to say it is the only one rated this high. The card features a dual auto, dual jersey of two of the most talked about players in the game. Enough said!

As much as I love cards. Like the Paul is Awesome. But I can't see paying that kinda money for them. If it costs more than a used car I have to pass. But it's nice that some people have that kinda money to buy them.

I kinda see these types of cards as my fantasy picks You know the what if I won the lottery type cards!!!

Thanks Mike for the research and the post!
