1984-85 Star Jordan XRC Advice
#11

RE: 1984-85 Star Jordan XRC Advice
The star co stuff is still underrated! I've purchased all but one of Clyde Drexlers Star Co stuff BGS9.5 in the past 12 months.

I use the investment thing all the time, it's harder with an exchange rate to deal with.
The Australian dollar has dropped a lot in recent times.
I'm up nearly 20c per dollar on my last big purchase though so that's good I guess.

I got into the Star stuff in the early-mid 90s, but I'm not sure if I sold it or not. My brother is checking for me this weekend, because anything I had would be back in NY, 3000 miles away.

You could take the investment thing further. The cards can be a hedge against the inflation of the Australian dollar relative to the US dollar. I'm sure there's a Youtube video you can use as evidence.Smile

Thanks. It's fun getting back into things, although I miss breaking open old wax packs...without spending hundreds for each pack!

You guys are a bad influence. I wound up getting an 85-86 Star and an 86-87 Fleer, too!

The 85-86 Star is a BGS 9, with 3 9.5 sub-grades (edges are 8.5, probably due to the color bleeding on the back). The 86-87 is a PSA 7. I was going to get an 8, but this one looked better than some of the 8's, it was cheaper, and it even came with a free wax box of 2012-13 Panini. That was hard to pass up. I'll probably still want to get a BGS 9 or 9.5 later, but I figured I should wait since I got the 84-85 Star.

Yesterday I worked from home, and my wife left to pick up the kids from school 2 minutes before the mail came. I now have some more time to build a case!Smile

That's a good idea. I need to show them to my brother, especially to further enhance my joke on him.

He doesn't know it, but I sent him 84-85 Star and 86-87 Fleer Jordan reprints as a joke. I wish I could see his face when he opens the package, as well as when he realizes they're fake (they're pretty good fakes)! Big Grin

They make fake scratch-off lottery tickets. Try those. Someone I know pulled that trick on someone at his job. The guy thought he hit it big and left for the day, probably to go right to the lottery office. He was MAD when he got back.Big Grin

Here are some scans. I included a Best of the Best Jordan I also picked up. It's nothing special card, but it's one I always regretted selling. I was glad to get one again.Smile
