These are 1993-94 Topps Stadium Club Series 2 Frequent Flyers insert cards featuring Michael Jordan (popular chase inserts with action photos and the “Frequent Flyers” foil logo). Card #181 is the most commonly referenced version in this subset, but the set includes nearby numbers with different photos/design variations in the Frequent Flyers theme. I analyzed all provided images (multiple fronts, backs, macro close-ups of corners/edges/surfaces/foils) and the YouTube video for handling/angles. Conditions are typical for raw 90s glossy inserts: minor handling wear is common.Grading Standards Used (PSA 1–10 scale; BGS subgrades 1–10 for Corners, Edges, Surface, Centering):Corners: Sharpness, whitening, dings.
Edges: Chipping, notching, factory cut quality.
Surface: Gloss, scratches, print lines, fingerprints, foil wear.
Centering: Front/back alignment (55/45 ideal for high grades).
Eye Appeal: Overall visual impact.

Card 181
(Back shown clearly with stats/”INTERNATIONAL” text + front dunk/smiling MJ action; multiple full views)

Summary & Market Notes:
All four are authentic raw examples in the NM to NM-MT range (PSA 7–8). No creases, heavy damage, or trimming — excellent for 30+ year old glossy inserts.
Strongest: Card 181 (cleanest overall). Weakest: Card 180 (more edge wear).
Recent eBay comps: Raw NM examples sell $2–$10 each; PSA 8s $15–$50+ depending on eye appeal. These would grade well if submitted (PSA more forgiving than BGS on corners/edges).
Recommendations: Sleeve/topload immediately. Gentle cleaning (no abrasives) could bump corners/surface. Cross-reference with the video for any unseen angles.
Please Note: This card is housed in a custom display slab for superior protection and presentation. While the label may include descriptive details, this is not a grade from a third-party professional service (such as PSA, BGS, or SGC). The card is being sold as Raw/Ungraded. Please review the high-resolution photos provided to make your own assessment of the card’s condition before bidding or purchasing.
