Exquisite Collection didn't earn its name for just the product's autographs and memorabilia cards. While those were the marks that made it such a landmark brand, it also helped lift the other parts of the product to a special place—including veteran base cards and their handful of parallels.
Veterans in 2005-06 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Basketball have just 225 numbered base cards. They're joined by just two levels of parallels: /25 Gold and 1/1 Rainbow, which is presented here. The popularity of these cards is very strong today as they seldom come up for sale, particuarly the 1/1s, which are often tucked away in collections.
But this 2005-06 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Rainbow isn't just any veteran. It's a significant Michael Jordan 1/1. Few will argue that he's the greatest to ever play the game.
The card boasts an elegant design, something Exquisite Collection is known for. No stranger to great action shots, Jordan is shown soaring through the air. The Bulls uniform, his iconic sneakers and impeccable physique are all on display, making an already great card even more special.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/03/2026.
