These are iconic short-printed holographic “Award Winners” cards from the 1992-93 Upper Deck set. They feature full-surface holographics with dramatic color-shifting effects (rainbow under light), which were cutting-edge at the time but notoriously prone to scratches, fingerprints, haze, scuffing, and surface clouding.
Both cards show noticeable surface wear typical of this fragile holographic technology — visible scratches, smudges, fingerprints, and haze/clouding across the foil. The Jordan card appears slightly cleaner in the main image area, while the Rodman shows more pronounced scuffing. Corners and edges have light wear but no major chipping or creases. These are display pieces with strong nostalgia but not high-grade candidates.
Crescent Vale Self-Graded Scores
Centering: The Rodman card scored an 8.5 and the Jordan card scored 9.5.
Edges: The Rodman scored a 9 and the Jordan scored a 9.
Corners: The Rodman scored a 8.5 and the Jordan scored a 9.5.
Surface: The Rodman scored an 8.5 and the Jordan scored a 7.5.
Crescent Vale Self-Graded Overall Score: Dennis Rodman 8.5 and Michael Jordan 9
A quick note about Grok’s grades. These are overly critical and it made several of these types of grades that day.
Grok AI Scores
Dennis Rodman #92 Subgrades (BGS-style)
Centering: 8.5/10 — Good alignment, minor shift typical of the set.
Corners: 7.5/10 — Light whitening and softening, especially lower corners.
Edges: 7.0/10 — Minor wear along borders; holographic layer shows some lifting risk.
Surface: 5.5/10 — Heavy deductions for scratches, fingerprints, haze, and scuffing visible across the foil (especially under angled light).
Grok AI Overall Prediction for the Dennis Rodman: 6.5 (EX-MT)
The surface is the primary limiter. Comparable examples in this range are common due to the set’s vulnerabilities.Michael Jordan #93 Subgrades (BGS-style)Centering: 9.0/10 — Excellent balance of photo and design.
Corners: 8.0/10 — Sharp but with minor whitening/fraying.
Edges: 7.5/10 — Clean but with light handling wear on the thin stock.
Surface: 6.0/10 — Visible scratches, smudges, and holographic haze/fingerprints, though the central image holds up better than the Rodman.
Grok AI Overall Prediction for the Michael Jordan: 7.0 (NM)
Slightly stronger than the Rodman due to better eye appeal on the Jordan photo, but still penalized for typical Beam Team surface issues.PSA Equivalent Predictions: Rodman: PSA 6 (EX-MT)
Jordan: PSA 7 (NM)
PSA is often stricter on holographics; these would likely receive mid-grades reflecting the wear. High-grade PSA 9/10 Beam Team cards are rare and valuable (Jordan examples can exceed thousands), but raw copies with this level of surface wear are plentiful in the $20–$80 range each depending on eye appeal.
Market & Population Reference:
Beam Team holographics have low Gem Mint populations across services due to the foil’s sensitivity. Jordan #93 examples in PSA 9+ command strong premiums, while mid-grade copies like these trade modestly. The set’s condition challenges are well-documented by collectors.
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.
