The Greatest Duo in Sports History

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are widely regarded as the greatest duo in sports history. Jordan achieved two "threepeats" (winning three championships in a row) and maintained a perfect 6/6 record in the NBA Finals. His achievements include being a 10-time scoring champion, 5-time MVP, and 10-time All-NBA First Team member, solidifying his status as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in basketball. Pippen, Jordan's indispensable partner, was essential in both threepeats, earning All-NBA honors seven times and being named to the All-Defensive First Team eight times consecutively. Jordan himself acknowledged Pippen's importance in the "Last Dance" documentary, saying, “I didn’t win without him, that’s why I consider him my best teammate of all time.”

The Innovation of Auto Patch Cards

Auto Patch cards, featuring both game-worn patches and autographs from the players, revolutionized sports memorabilia by bringing fans closer to the game. These cards played a key role in establishing Upper Deck's (UD) dominance in the sports card market in the late 1990s and 2000s. The most prestigious of these cards come from the "Exquisite" brand, which has seen $75 million in sales over the past five years. This card, part of the highly coveted Exquisite series, was released in the third year of Exquisite’s production, a period highly esteemed by collectors.

&nbsp;

Super Exclusivity

Among all Jordan and Pippen dual auto patch cards from all manufacturers and years, there are only two known cards, with just six total copies in existence. This card is one of those six, making it exceptionally rare and highly exclusive.

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />
&nbsp;

Best of the Best

This particular card is the highest-graded copy out of the five produced in its print run, with an 8.5 grade and a perfect 10 for the autograph. It's the only card in the world with these top-tier grades, adding to its unparalleled value.

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />
&nbsp;

Superior Quality Patches

The patches on this card are of the highest quality. Jordan's patch is especially impressive, featuring three colors and five breaks, making it arguably the best patch among all Jordan Scripted Swatch cards. Both patches are clearly from Bulls jerseys, adding to their historical significance.

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />
&nbsp;

Last of Its Kind

This card is the last of the five produced, and due to the exclusivity of NBA licensing and signing rights, it is highly unlikely that another dual auto patch card featuring both Jordan and Pippen will be made. This exclusivity is further enhanced by the strained relationship between Jordan and Pippen, making any future joint autographs improbable.

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />
&nbsp;

A Masterpiece of Design

The card is a true masterpiece, featuring rich colors, elegant details, and heavy use of foil, reflecting the peak of Upper Deck's design capabilities. Released in 2005-06, the same year that UD's rival Fleer went bankrupt, this card marks a significant moment in the history of sports card collecting.

41808_Jordan and Pippen

According to CardLadder, Michael Jordan cards have experienced an annual value increase of 21.7% over the past 20 years. Over the last 5 years, the annual value increase has been even higher, at over 41.4%. Given that this is a championship-winning card limited to only 5 pieces, the potential is even greater.

Return

Michael Jordan cards have shown significant value appreciation for over 20 years, and his cards have lost much less value after the high price phase during the pandemic compared to most other cards of well-known athletes. Specifically, this card, which features both Jordan and Pippen and was produced worldwide in only 6 copies in two different editions, promises high price stability.

Stability

There are only 2 cards (and 6 total copies) of Jordan &amp; Pippen that contain sports memorabilia and autographs and this is one of them. Exclusivity to the max.
