Do NOT Buy the 1986 Fleer Jordan?! + eBay Just KILLED Sniping
Should collectors really AVOID the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan right now?
On this episode of the Collector Investor Podcast, we react to the argument that collectors should stay away from the iconic 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan and buy the much scarcer 1984 Star 101 Jordan instead. We break down population, historical prices, the massive COVID-era rise and crash, and whether the Fleer and Star Jordans are actually more connected than people think.
Then we tackle a HUGE change coming to eBay auctions: extended bidding. What happens to last-second sniping? Is this better for sellers? Will cards start selling for more money? And could this fundamentally change how collectors bid on eBay?
We also recap the Philly Card Show, including some hilarious deals and stories from the weekend, before answering viewer questions about when to sell cards from your PC, whether to dual-grade autographed cards, grading inconsistencies, and the massive import costs some international collectors are facing.
Whether you're a vintage collector, modern collector, investor, dealer, or just love talking sports cards, there's a LOT to unpack in this one.
COMMENT BELOW: Would you rather own the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan or the 1984 Star Michael Jordan #101? And what do you think about eBay eliminating traditional last-second sniping?
