This is a 1995-96 Fleer Total D #3 Michael Jordan insert card (3 of 12 in the set).

Total D was a low-insertion insert (roughly 1:12 packs) highlighting offensive stars. It features a borderless front with a full-color action cutout of Jordan, two red foil rings, and a basketball backdrop with silver foil “Total O”. The vertical gold/silver foil “TOTAL MICHAEL JORDAN” on the left side is a distinctive design element.

Rarity & Appeal: Short-printed insert from Jordan’s prime (1995-96 season, post-comeback). Strong eye appeal due to the dynamic action photo (MJ driving in Bulls #23 jersey), vibrant colors, and premium foil elements. Raw ungraded copies typically sell in the $55–$85 range depending on eye appeal; high-grade examples command significant premiums.

Market Context: PSA 9s have recently sold around $250–$300 (with some variance), PSA 10s in the $1,000–$1,900+ range (low pop). BGS 9.5 examples exist but are scarcer. Populations are modest compared to base cards due to the insert nature and 1990s production/handling sensitivities (foil wear, edge chipping, surface texture).

Professional Grading Review (Simulated PSA & BGS Style)

I evaluated based on the provided high-resolution photos (full card, corners, edges, surface details, foil close-ups). This is a strong raw example with excellent visual appeal but typical minor manufacturing/handling characteristics of mid-90s Fleer inserts.BGS Subgrades (Beckett Style – Most Relevant for Subgrades):

BGS uses a 1–10 half-point scale for Centering, Corners, Edges, Surface. Overall grade is the lowest subgrade rounded appropriately (very strict on modern/vintage inserts).

Crescent Vale Self-Graded Scores

Centering: Perfect centering scored a 10.

Edges: The edges were excellent and received a 9 subgrade.

Corners: The front bottom right corners had some whitening and the corners scored an 8.5.

Surface: The surface was excellent and scored a 9.

Crescent Vale Self-Graded Overall Score: 9 Mint

Grok AI Scores

Centering: 9.5 — Appears very well-centered (near 50/50 to 55/45 front; strong back). The borderless design helps, and no obvious diamond cuts or major shifts visible.

Corners: 8.5–9 — Mostly sharp to the naked eye. Close-ups show very minor softness/micro-fuzz or slight whitening on a couple of corners (common on cut stock and foil-heavy cards). No major dings, bends, or layering. Strong for the era.

Edges: 8.5 — Clean overall with good smoothness. Minor micro-roughness or faint whitening visible under close inspection/angling (typical for these cards; foil edges can show subtle wear). No chips, dents, or major damage.

Surface: 9 — Excellent gloss and color. No creases, major scratches, stains, or print defects. Foil is intact and bright (minor registration/handling typical for foil). Possible faint micro-specks or texture from production, but nothing distracting. Strong eye appeal.

Grok AI Overall Score: 9-9.5

Overall BGS Grade Estimate: 9 (Mint) or potentially a strong 9.5 Gem Mint if the minor edge/corner subtleties hold under lab magnification. This would be a premium example.PSA Grade Estimate: 9 (Mint) — PSA is slightly more lenient on edges/surface for 90s cards. A clean PSA 9 is realistic; PSA 10 would require near-flawless corners/edges under 10x magnification (challenging but possible for this card).

Cross-Reference to Other Graded Examples: Raw market: $55–$85.

PSA 9: Recent sales ~$250–$300+.

PSA 10: $1,800+ (low population; high demand for Jordan inserts).

BGS 9.5: Exists in the market and trades at a premium over PSA equivalents due to subgrade transparency.

Recommendations:This card has strong investment/collector potential due to Jordan’s iconic status, the insert scarcity, and solid raw condition. Eye appeal is high.

For submission: BGS for subgrades (preferred for collectors) or PSA for broader market liquidity. Protect in a penny sleeve + top loader or semi-rigid holder before shipping.
