Michael Jordan’s 2006 Fleer E-X Essential Credentials Now /4 parallel is a ghost, never hitting the public auction block before this month. With a print run of just four, it stands as one of Jordan’s rarest basketball cards. This stunning BGS 9.5 soars above its PSA 8 and BGS 9 contemporaries, leaving it as the greatest known example of this magnificent M.J.
Jordan helped launch the Credentials parallel in the 2006 SkyBox E-X set, with the concept expanding to its Future and Now iterations the following year. Unlike Essential Credentials Future parallels, which were serial-numbered opposite to their place on the checklist, Now parallels were numbered to match it. With M.J. slotting in at card #4 in the ‘06 Fleer E-X set, only four copies of His Airness’ Now card were made.
Similar to the Kobe Bryant and LeBron James cards in the set, Jordan’s high-flying game is perfectly suited to the vertical design of the ‘06 Fleer E-X product. That layout combines with imagery of the all-time great finishing a trademark dunk for a stunning overall aesthetic. With three 9.5 subgrades, an overall BGS 9.5 grade, and incredible scarcity, now is the time to act if you want to add this sensational M.J. Now to your collection.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/09/2025.
