Paper Sport Card Appraisal

Mark Jackson 1990 NBA Hoops Basketball Card

The item is a vintage NBA Hoops basketball trading card featuring Mark Jackson, with his position listed as 'Guard'. The card is housed within a clear plastic protective sleeve, typical for storing sports cards, which itself is part of a larger multi-pocket binder page. The card's design features a silver-grey background at the top, transitioning to an orange strip at the bottom. The player's name, 'MARK JACKSON', is printed in an orange-brown hue at the top left of the card face, with 'Guard' directly below it in a smaller font. The year of the card is likely 1989 or 1990, given the NBA Hoops branding which was prominent during that period. The image on the card depicts Mark Jackson in action on a basketball court, dribbling the ball. He is wearing a white jersey with a 'NY' logo, indicating his time with the New York Knicks. He has a black kneepad on his right knee. The court floor is visible, showing a wooden surface with painted lines. The overall condition of the card, from what is visible through the protective sleeve, appears to be relatively good with no immediate signs of creasing or significant surface wear. The corners and edges are not clearly discernible due to the sleeve and viewing angle, but they do not show obvious severe damage. There is a piece of bright green painter's tape adhered to the right edge of the plastic sleeve, partially obscuring the bottom right corner of the card and the edge of the sleeve, suggesting it may be used to mark the card or sleeve for organizational purposes. The 'NBA HOOPS' logo is prominently displayed in white text against the orange strip at the bottom center of the card, next to a partial image of a basketball.
