Jordan 1/1 Autos Shine in Fleer Basketball

I've opened quite a few packs of basketball cards over the years, but one thing I've never pulled is a Michael Jordan autograph. Even if I had, it probably wouldn't have been quite as spectacular as what Upper Deck has planned for its upcoming 2008-09 Fleer Basketball.

A total of 23 vintage Fleer cards from throughout Jordan's career were repurchased and given to MJ to sign for insertion in Fleer packs. The autographs are all on-card signatures, and each one is a hand-numbered one-of-one.

Because Jordan had a long-running autograph deal with Upper Deck, he never signed any Fleer cards during the late 80's or 90's. That makes these cards even more unique.

Fleer Basketball is due to go on sale the first week of January, but you can see seven of the Jordan autographs in the card gallery at the link below or head to Facebook and search for Upper Deck Basketball to see them all.
