53 PSA Graded Nike Poster Cards as of 09/2020

Over  the past decade or more PSA has had a on again/off again relationship with grading Nike Poster Cards. Their main problem has been the lack of a checklist that could both number and date the cards. This, we must lay at the feet of Nike, who as I said in the early blogs insists that it has no listing of the posters or the advertising poster cards that were issued. Hard to believe but apparently true.

Now that I have spent several YEARS pulling all the data together, as has been explained in previous blogs, I thought it would be a good time to set a baseline for the poster cards that have been graded so far.

For the most part PSA, in the past, has only been comfortable grading type 1 cards, but a few type 2 and type 3's have slipped through and are all noted here. Some of these early labeled dates are incorrect. The hope is that moving forward they will be relabeled correctly.

As would be expected, as of Sept 1st 2020, the most highly graded cards have been the (5) type 1 Jordan cards with Air Jordan [850] having (24) graded examples and , Freezeframe [851] with (32) graded examples. Blue and black [858] has (91) graded examples which must be the  result of both its popularity and its availability. Imagination [867] has (18) graded examples and Shirts & Skins [868]  have (9) graded examples respectfully. Though it must be mentioned that the latter two ( 867 and 868) exist as both type 1 and type 3 (1991/92) issues and we do not know which have been graded so far.

In terms of pricing, the Jordan examples have been escalating with other Jordan cards. There does not appear to be full awareness that at least 4 of these were issued BEFORE the 1986 Fleer Jordan "rookie". A few years ago Air Jordan was available in PSA 8 on Ebay for < $200 and he other 4 for < $100. This spring  Air Jordan had jumped to ~ $500. More recent sales are shown below:







The complete list (as I said, for posterity) is shown below. Yes, this same data is available on the PSA website, but it will disappear as more and more cards are graded and added to this total.
