1985 Bulls Interlake #1 Michael Jordan Rookie NBA Basketball Trading Card (5x7). This is one of those "if you know, you know" situations. Many collectors are not aware of this card so we will explain the significance. Not often are there six-figure sports cards that collectors haven’t heard of, but the 1985 Interlake Bulls Michael Jordan might be one of them. Collectors often mention this card alongside the 1985 Nike Michael Jordan Promo and the 1985 Prism / Jewel Michael Jordan Sticker card as pre-rookies. Most collectors consider the 1986 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan as the true rookie since Fleer was the first major release with a Jordan card. Nevertheless, the 5x7 Interlake card’s scarcity and regional distribution make it a critical Jordan item for collectors. The pair of promos (Michael Jordan & Orlando Woolridge) were given out in a joint partnership between the Interlake Youth Incentive Program and The Boy Scouts of America in 1985. You can see the Boy Scouts and Interlake logos at the bottom of the card. It is somewhat unclear how the card was distributed but we do know that it is extremely scarce and very difficult to find in good condition. Please see images for details regarding condition.
