Did you know that Michael Jordan has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated more than any other athlete? It`s true. Even more than the Celtics, Lakers, Muhammad Ali, and even the Olympics as a whole. Gee, I wonder why. Could it be because he is the most premiere athlete the world has ever known, or that he redefined gravity with his ability to hang in mid air?
Whatever the fascination this highly respected sports magazine has with Air Jordan, these magazines with him on the cover of them are very collectible and worth alot of money. Each issue has him either winning a title on it, hitting another game winning shot in the Finals, or him setting another milestone while playing for the Chicago Bulls.
Wherever his likeness is, money and value is right behind it. His ability to knock down that game winning shot, and dunk at will on other NBA players, may never be seen again. Yeah, I know you have Lebron and Kobe, but Jordan sailed the seas that other players coudn`t on the hardwood.
That`s why these Jordan SI`s are so valuable and sought after by his fans. They are affordable and easy to store and keep in great shape.

Michael Jordan figures are the most sought after in the world of collecting. I mean everyone including myself wants a piece of the legend. He set unbreakable records, hit game winning shots for NBA Championships, and made everybody on his team better. This is what a true legend is really made of and he has always been someone a kid could look up to as a hero.
So with all of this being said, this is the perfect time to invest in a Michael Jordan action figure. The most desirable action figures of MJ are made by a company(no longer in business), called Starting Lineup. They started making action figures in 1988 of baseball, football, and basketball players.
So you can imagine the buzz over all of Jordan`s figures when they first came out. Everyone had to have his "first" piece as it is referred to and for good reason. They knew the value of it and already knew it would sky-rocket in the future-as it indeed did.
All of his figures were made from 1988 to 1993, so you can see the scarcity of them. He also had an appearance on the 1992 Olympic Dream Team box set, along with his fellow Olympians. That figure as well as others that appear with him, are valued at $100.oo dollars.
There are a number of more Jordan figures by Mattel and other toy makers as well. However, even though they have been long out of business, Starting Lineup figures of Michael just keep leading the way.

The Rookie days are the most significant moment for any player to have, whatever the sport you play with.

And no one has been ever successful than the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.

Detailing it to the top, the real jersey has sentimental values and is regarded a piece of basketball history.
The Michael Jordan rookie jersey, being the original, is a worn out jersey that was worn by Michael Jordan in the late 1984-85 rookie season. It is made of red mesh and is lettered 23 at the front and the back of the jersey. The numbers and letters are made of vinyl, making it easy to transfer to mesh by heat. The numbers are applique with a two tone on black and white. A Rawlings 42 logo is on the right front tail and a Rawlings 34 on the waistband. Bearing the number on the front is a logo of the Chicago bulls just like the other players. But the most common reason for this jersey to be real collectible is because of the achievement he made and the style he created in basketball. It was said that he was fortunate and that red was a lucky color in Chinese, and that 23 is a lucky number for Norwegian culture, but luck has nothing to do with it.
The Jordan rookie jersey represents what he did to achieve fame… courage, discipline, teamwork and a great deal of passion for the sport that he always loved. The rookie years that he spent with the Chicago Bulls gave him the break at becoming the greatest player of all time, winning his team and awarding him with the rookie award. The people around him supported and cheered, filling him with the spirit enough to make his team win. Even though that the jersey was said to be worn out, a lot of fans wanted it, reasoning that all of the hardships and sweats Michael Jordan faced on the game is in the jersey. The jersey is also a reminder that everyone can also be great, for as long as the people supported him. The jersey also held significant details of what Michael Jordan has been experiencing in the rookie years like racism and all, being a black man too.
The rookie years are gone and his career is as high as the clouds, nevertheless, he still loves basketball and that basketball can change someone as long as it is within the bounds of discipline and patience. The original jersey is placed for auction and was said to have reached $70,500, stating at how valuable the jersey is.
