1985 Bulls Interlake #1 Michael Jordan Rookie Card NBA Basketball Trading Card (Graded BGS Beckett 9.5 - Highest Graded Example) (Population 36) (Beckett Certification Number: 0011565262). This is one of those "if you know, you know" situations. Many collectors are not aware that this card exists. There are few 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. This 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 it is extremely scarce and very difficult to find in good condition. According to Beckett's population registry, this is the highest-graded card in existence. It is well-established that Beckett is the toughest grading agency of the big 3, therefore this card has an excellent chance to crossover to PSA 10. For security reasons, we keep this card off-site. For a serious bidder, previews can be arranged 48-72 hours in advance (please call our shop to schedule 847-625-0555).
