This is a nice example of a classic Jordan card. The gold border adds premium feel but is prone to the edge issues noted. Submit to PSA for broad appeal or BGS for subgrades. It would look excellent slabbed.

Overall, a clean mid-to-high grade example that avoids major flaws while showcasing the iconic photo. These continue to hold appeal for 90s Jordan collectors.
