PSA Grade Estimate:

PSA 8.5–9 (strong high-end example)

Key Factors (PSA scale):

Centering: 9.5 – Outstanding; perfectly balanced front and back.

Corners: 9.0 – Very sharp with minimal wear visible in macros. No significant chipping or rounding.

Edges: 8.5 – Clean cuts overall, but the gold foil border shows typical minor whitening or texture (inherent to these Ultra inserts). No major dents or flaking.

Surface: 9.0–9.5 – Excellent gloss and foil retention. No scratches, haze, or print defects. The “SCORING KINGS” banner, shield, and gold “MICHAEL JORDAN” text are pristine.

Eye Appeal: Excellent. The card has strong visual impact with vibrant colors and foil “pop.”Cross-Reference: Scoring Kings Hot Packs/inserts are tougher to grade high than base cards. PSA 9s are solid, with 10s being rare (similar to the Jam City version you shared earlier). This example is cleaner than most and sits in the upper tier.

Grok AI Overall Score: 8.5 to 9

This is one of the nicer copies based on the photos — submit to PSA for registry/set appeal (low pop for 10s) or BGS for subgrades. It compares favorably to the Jam City Hot Packs you shared previously.
