1998 Upper Deck Retro MJ Commemorative Collection Rookie of the Year Michael Jordan

Two NBA teams passed on Michael Jordan before the Chicago Bulls selected the Naismith Award winner third overall in the 1984 NBA Draft. Jordan immediately stepped into the starting lineup and made an immediate impact — by season's end, the NBA All-Star had set a team rookie record for points in a game with 49, while also establishing overall team records in points (2,313) and steals (196). Upper Deck saluted Jordan's stellar rookie season with this double die-cut insert from Series One of the Retro MJ Commemorative Collection, commemorating his 1984–85 Rookie of the Year campaign with the Bulls. The card back references the 1986–97 All-Star years and features the iconic Retro MJ logo alongside the Chicago Bulls team mark.
