Sneakers helped vault Michael Jordan to international stardom, so Upper Deck knew cutting up a pair of his game-worn Nikes would make sense for its 1999-00 Upper Deck HoloGrFX Shoetime set. Upper Deck debuted HoloGrFX across the four major sports in 1999.
The card maker produced 19 Shoetime cards and inserted one every 431 packs of the retail-exclusive HoloGrFX set. Even harder to find were the short-printed autographs of Jordan and Karl Malone. The company hand-numbered the signatures to match the players' jersey numbers—/23 for Jordan and /32 for Malone. This is a card that directly connects Jordan's on-court and sneaker legacies.
Just one copy of this card has a higher grade than this NM-MT+ 8.5 in the BGS registry.
