1997-98 Upper Deck Michael Jordan 'Spectacular Stars' Basketball Card #S1

This is a 1997-1998 Upper Deck 'Spectacular Stars' insert card featuring the legendary NBA player Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. The card exhibits a highly stylized split-design aesthetic characteristic of late 1990s sports memorabilia. The left side features a monochromatic, dot-matrix style portrait of Jordan in profile, set against a deep black background with his iconic jersey number '23' printed in white. The right half displays a dynamic color action photograph of Jordan mid-dunk, showcasing the back of his red Chicago Bulls jersey. The top of the card features a bold red banner with the word 'SPECTACULAR' in white serif font, adjacent to the graphic 'STARS' logo utilizing a Five-Point star. The 'Michael Jordan' nameplate spans the bottom in a mix of serif and script typography. The card appears to be constructed of standard high-gloss cardstock with a holographic Upper Deck logo visible in the bottom right corner, a primary security and authenticity feature of the era. The item is currently housed in a clear protective plastic top-loader and resting on a display stand, which suggests it has been kept in a collector's environment. While the image resolution limits a micro-analysis of the surface, the centering appears generally balanced, and the corners, as viewed through the case, seem sharp without obvious blunting or delamination. This specific insert set was a popular chase during Jordan's final championship season with the Bulls, making it a significant piece for modern basketball card collectors.
