Based on the provided high-resolution photos (front, back, corners, edges, surface close-ups):Estimated PSA Grade: 8 (NM-MT) to 8.5 range. Strong eye appeal but with minor factory/handling issues typical of this glossy, thin-stock 3D set. PSA 9s sell in the $40–$90 range recently; this one has enough small flaws to likely land in PSA 8 territory.
Estimated BGS Grade: 8.5 (with solid subgrades). BGS is stricter on surface and edges for these embossed/3D cards. This would be a nice mid-to-high 8.5, not quite Gem Mint due to minor wear.
Key Factors from Images:The card shows vibrant colors, good gloss on the action photo, and clean text/hologram elements.
Minor issues visible: slight corner softness/whitening (especially lower corners), possible micro-scratches or print lines on the glossy surface (common in Pro View 3D due to embossing), and very minor edge nicks or factory cut roughness on the white borders.
Centering appears strong front-to-back and left-right.
No major creases, stains, or heavy wear. Back is very clean.
BGS-Style Subgrades (1–10 scale, half-points allowed)
BGS evaluates Centering, Corners, Edges, Surface independently. The overall is roughly the average, weighted toward the lowest subgrade.
Centering: 9.5 — Excellent alignment on front (image and text balanced). Back centering also strong. Minimal shift visible in photos.
Corners: 8.5–9 — Sharp overall, but light whitening/softness on a couple of corners (visible in close-ups). Typical for cards from this era/set; not dinged or rounded heavily.
Edges: 8.5–9 — Clean but with minor factory cut imperfections or faint roughness on white borders (seen in angled shots). No major chipping.
Surface: 8.5 — Glossy and vibrant, but under close inspection (as in your detail shots), there are light micro-scratches/rubs on the photo/embossed areas and possible faint print lines—very common for these 3D cards. No fingerprints, heavy scratches, or haze.
Overall: 8.5 (NM-MT+). Subs like 9.5/9/8.5/8.5 would support this. A true 9+ would need near-perfect corners/surface.PSA Holistic ViewPSA combines everything into one grade with emphasis on eye appeal. This card has strong visuals but the minor surface/corner wear drops it from a 9. PSA 8–9 population is healthy for this card, with 10s being rarer and more valuable.
eBay Cross-Reference & Market ContextRaw/ungraded examples sell low ($5–20+).
PSA 8s: ~$25–$35.
PSA 9s: $40–$90 (recent comps).
BGS 9s/9.5s: Higher premiums, often $70+ for strong subs.
This is a 1993-94 Upper Deck Pro View 3-D Jam Insert #91 Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls). It’s a popular “3-D Jam” themed insert card showcasing MJ dunking, with vertical “BULLS MICHAEL JORDAN” lettering, a “3-D JAM” logo, and a vibrant action photo. The back features a dunk-themed design (“ALLEY-OOP DUNK THUNDER”) with bio text.
Overall Assessment (PSA/BGS Professional Grader Simulation)Based on the provided high-resolution images (front, back, corners, edges, surface close-ups):
Estimated PSA Grade: 8.5 (NM-MT+) to 9 range. Excellent eye appeal with strong colors and gloss. Minor factory/handling flaws (typical for these glossy 3-D inserts) prevent a clean 9/10.
Estimated BGS Grade: 8.5–9.0 (with strong subgrades). BGS rewards the visual pop but docks for subtle surface and edge traits common in this set.
Key Factors from Images:Vibrant photo, clean text, sharp hologram/branding, and good gloss.
Minor issues: very light corner whitening/softness (especially lower right), faint edge roughness on white borders (factory cut), and possible micro-scratches or light surface rubs on the glossy/embossed areas (visible in angled/close-up shots).
Centering looks excellent front-to-back.
No creases, stains, or major wear. Back is clean.
BGS-Style Subgrades (1–10 scale)
Centering: 9.5 — Near-perfect alignment on both sides. Text and image are well-balanced.
Corners: 8.5–9 — Mostly sharp, with very light whitening on a couple of tips (standard for the era/set’s thin stock).
Edges: 8.5–9 — Clean overall but minor factory-cut imperfections/roughness visible on white borders in close-ups.
Surface: 8.5–9 — Strong gloss and vibrancy, but light micro-wear or print lines on the photo (common with 3-D embossing). No heavy scratches or fingerprints.
Overall: 8.5–9 (NM-MT+ to Mint). Subs around 9.5/9/8.5/8.5–9 would support this.
PSA emphasizes eye appeal here — this card looks great in-hand. It has the visual strength of many PSA 9s but subtle wear that often lands strong examples in the 8–9 window for this insert set.
eBay / Market Cross-ReferenceRaw: $5–$15.
PSA 8: ~$20–$40.
PSA 9: $30–$90+ (recent comps; strong eye-appeal examples push higher).
PSA 10 / BGS 9.5+: $150–$300+ (much scarcer due to glossy surface vulnerabilities).
Graded examples (PSA 7–9) regularly appear; your card compares favorably to mid-to-high 8s/9s, outperforming lower-grade ones with heavier wear.
