The Jordan Wax Era
I attended a semi-large card show yesterday with about 500 tables, and I was absolutely blown away by the overabundance of Jordan cards. Roughly half the tables had cases dedicated to Jordan cards. I saw no less than 75 Jordan rookies including one vendor with 11. In talking with some of the vendors they aren’t selling any Jordans to attendees they are selling them so whatnot reptiles, and big slab buyers. So what happens when PSA gets through their backlog and another 3 million Jordans flood the market followed by another 5 submissions?! This won’t end well.
On another note you can’t find Bird or Magic-graded vintage cars anywhere. Best option was a PSA 5 81 Topps Bird, and a 88 Fleer PSA 8 Bird.
The vibe overall was slimy. I prefer smaller shows I guess.
