The 1997-98 Metal Universe Basketball checklist has a lot of iconic elements. Among them are the Titanium inserts that bring technology to the forefront in multiple ways. Printed on acetate, the cards have a plastic feel and transparent look. They're also die-cut into a near oval shape. Prismatic foil is also used.
Rarity is also part of the set's appeal with cards landing 1:72 packs. With 20 cards on the checklist, that translates into 1:1,440 pack odds for any specific player such as this Michael Jordan. He's not only the headliner in the set, but this card comes from his final season with the Chicago Bulls—the historic Last Dance where the team completed their second three-peat with MJ at the helm.
Just one copy in the BGS registry has a higher grade than this Pristine 10. All four areas have 10 subgrades: Centering, Corners, Edges and Surface.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 05/26/2026.
