This card was part of a 20th anniversary buyback autograph program: 23 numbered 1986-87 Fleer Jordan rookies were rereleased, signed by Jordan, into 2006-07 boxes along with certificates of authenticity.

Out of the 23 that were released, only 14 have been identified, graded and remain in the hands of private collectors. (Source ESPN)

With recent sales well over $150,000, each box contains 36 packs and each pack contains 12 cards with 132 Fleer cards in the complete set. For a unsearched box, the average number of Michael Jordan rookie cards inside would be around 3-4 per box.

The list of 1986-87 Fleer Basketball Rookie Cards is one of the strongest you’ll ever find in a product from any sport. Beside the iconic Michael Jordan Rookie Card, the set also includes several legends and Hall of Famers including Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing. (Source Beckett)

The holy grail of tennis cards. This card started gaining momentum during the 2007 season as Roger was in the middle of an incredible grand slam run. Due to scheduling conflicts, NetPro never were able to include Roger within the International Series 10 card autograph set, but this delay led NetPro to create the incredibly rare RC #d to just 25 and feature it within the Elite Stars set.
