Upper Deck aims to floor Michael Jordan collectors
Upper Deck Authenticated unveiled on Tuesday its Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls Floor Collection, a product line that celebrates His Airness and also benefits the CharitaBulls Chicago Bulls youth organization.
As Jordan counts down the days until his enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the line launches with pieces of the United Center floor where Jordan helped etch his legendary credentials up for grabs.
