1997-98 Upper Deck Michael Jordan Game Dated Memo Basketball Card

This is a 1997-98 Upper Deck Michael Jordan basketball card, featuring the legendary Chicago Bulls player in his iconic red and white home jersey. The card design boasts a dark, textured background with the name 'MICHAEL JORDAN' displayed in large, translucent block lettering spanning the top and bottom. A central, action-pose photograph of Jordan holding a Spalding NBA basketball is the focal point. A significant highlight is the diamond-shaped window at the bottom of his jersey, which appears to house a red jersey swatch, indicating this is a 'Game Dated Memo' or jersey relic card. The card is stored in a rigid plastic top-loader for protection. The surface of the card shows consistent flecks, which may be part of the original design's 'starfield' effect or surface dust on the holder. The corners of the card within the holder appear relatively sharp, though the top-loader shows some light scuffing and handled wear. The red vertical foil accents on the left and right sides add a premium feel to the 1990s-era manufacturing aesthetic. This piece represents a high-demand era of sports collectability, specifically celebrating Jordan's second three-peat period.
