Ahead of its time, SkyBox released its 1/1 1998 Gem Masters series, which parallels the product's 123-card base checklist. The unique card design and limited production made the edition an instant hit when SkyBox inserted them into hobby packs. As the decades pass, treasures such as Precious Metal Gems, Star Rubies, and Gem Masters continue to capture the attention of high-end hoops collectors. It's rare for any 1/1 Gem Masters card to hit the secondary market, much less one showcasing a player of Scottie Pippen's caliber.
A key piece in the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, Pippen has seven All-Star selections, three All-NBA First Team nods and eight NBA All-Defensive First Team honors to his credit. Playing alongside Michael Jordan, he formed one of the greatest duos in not just basketball but sports history.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 10/08/2025.
