This is a base set card from Fleer Ultra’s popular 1992-93 release (Jordan’s second year with the Ultra brand). The front features a dynamic action shot of MJ in a red Bulls uniform (#23) mid-air against Bucks defenders, with the “’92-93 Fleer Ultra” logo. The back includes 1991-92 stats, a portrait, and team logo. These cards are known for their glossy finish, which is prone to surface wear, and slightly rounded factory corners.

Grok AI Scores
Grok examined the front/back, all four corners, edges, surface/foil, centering, and print under simulated grading conditions.
Centering: 9.5
Excellent front-to-back alignment. The photo, nameplate, and text are well-centered within the design tolerances. Minor asymmetry in the action shot is factory-correct.
Corners: 9.0 – 9.5
The top-left and bottom-right corners appear very sharp with minimal whitening. The bottom-left and top-right show typical light factory rounding/softness common to this set (visible in edge close-ups). No major dings, chips, or bends.
Edges: 9.0
Clean and straight overall. Some very minor manufacturing chipping/notching along the white borders (especially visible in the bottom and side close-ups), which is common for Ultra cards of this era but keeps it from a higher subgrade.
Surface: 8.5 – 9.0
Gloss is strong and even with good color pop. The photo has excellent clarity. However, there are visible micro-scratches and light handling marks on the dark background areas (particularly noticeable in angled lighting on the front and back). The gold foil “92-93 Fleer Ultra” logo shows minor wear but no major bubbling or peeling. No creases.
Grok AI Overall Score: 9 Mint
BGS Overall Grade: 9.0 (Mint)
This is a solid mid-to-high grade example. Subgrades would likely land around Centering 9.5 | Corners 9 | Edges 9 | Surface 8.5–9, producing a clean 9.0 label. BGS 9.5+ examples are significantly tougher due to surface sensitivity.PSA Equivalent
PSA 8 (NM-MT) to PSA 9 (Mint)
PSA is often slightly more forgiving on surface for these glossy cards, but the micro-scratches and edge imperfections would likely cap it at PSA 9 or hold it at a strong PSA 8. Many similar examples cross at these levels.Market Cross-Reference & Value Context (current data) Raw examples: $3–$8 (recent sales around $4–$7).
PSA 8: ~$15–$30.
PSA 9: ~$35–$65.
PSA 10: $250–$375+ (population is high but demand remains strong).
BGS 9/9.5 examples command a premium over equivalent PSA grades.
Fleer Ultra Jordans from this set are condition-sensitive due to the black background and glossy coating. High-grade population is decent but collectors still pay up for eye appeal.
