MICHAEL JORDAN | 1989 HOOPS 200 | PSA NM-MT 8

PSA Graded Card - Certification #118441141 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This 1989 Hoops Michael Jordan #200 card features an iconic game-action photograph of Michael Jordan in his Chicago Bulls uniform, dribbling and gesturing with his right hand. The card front presents a clean white border and a red semi-circle background framing the photo. The player's name appears in bold black type at the top, with the 'BULLS' team name printed in large, all-caps white font against a red background at the bottom. The "NBA Hoops" logo is present on the lower left. The card is slabbed and graded by PSA as NM-MT 8 (Near Mint-Mint), indicating sharp corners, bright color, and minimal edge/corner wear observable through the slab. This is the inaugural year for NBA Hoops, which was a landmark in bringing more premium design and mass-market accessibility to basketball cards compared to earlier sets. No special printing techniques are used: it's a standard matte finish, typical for late 1980s basketball issues. The card has no autograph or serial numbering, no refractor or holographic elements, and represents the base issue. The set is known for its high print runs but remains popular among collectors for affordability and nostalgia. This card stands out from similar issues by representing Hoops’ first-ever release with a clean, modern design.
