This 16-card set featuring Michael Jordan and Jackie Joyner-Kersee was sponsored by McDonald's restaurants as part of their "Sports Tips" series. The cards of each subject were issued on a 10 7/8" by 8 1/8" perforated sheet (two rows of four cards each) as a special insert in Sports Illustrated for Kids. The two sheets were attached connecting Michael Jordan and 1988 Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee. After perforation, the cards measure the standard size (2 1/2" by 3 1/2"). The front has a color action photo of Jordan, with four different border stripes on each side of the picture: red above, green below, yellow with black dots on the left, and black , blue candy-stripe on the right. Jordan's autograph is inscribed on the red border, while the card title appears in the green border. The back has a hint on how to perform the move, a training tip, and a nutrition tip. A pink top border stripe and a green bottom border stripe frame this information. The Joyner-Kersee cards are styled similarly. The cards are numbered on both sides; the Joyner-Kersee cards are numbered below using a %%JK~ prefix to distinguish from the similarly numbered Jordan cards. [Collapse]
