1990-91 Hoops Basketball Forum

I am sure that many have asked questions about this card but 1990-1991 Hoops #205 Mark Jackson. Is it truly worth $15? I know that the reason behind this large price is because of the Menendez brothers being in the back but could it actually be bought for a price like that? I know that people say, "it's only worth that much if someone buys it for that price," and I own 1 and was wondering if that is an accurate price.

Well, until they were ID'd on the card, it was selling as a common so..... Seeing that ship has passed, you'll probably won't see it get back down until this bubble bursts.

Yeah, that card was a common card from the day it was released. The Menendez Brothers crap showed up well before the pandemic and that card became ridiculously priced. If you want to sell it for that price and can get it, do it now! The "value" will only come crashing back down to a nickel before too much longer. I'm surprised that the inflated price lasted as long as it did in the first place.

To answer your exact question, I can guarantee that it can be bought for that price. I have one FS/FT that can be bought for $15

I sold about 9 or 10 of them for about $10-20 each over a year ago. I tried to take advantage of the "find" because I've been stuck with thousands of those old Hoops cards. I think I used the money to buy a Detroit Tigers SP or 2 that I wanted. I'd be lucky to sell what I have left for $15 total. I'd trade 100 hoops commons for almost any card on my wantlist. I'm thinking the value will go down over time because there are so many of them in curculation. It is an interesting piece of history captured on a card however.

Part of the hype is from cerial killer fans. Since this is a trading card with two killers on it more people want it. Also I know more stories have come out in the last few years around them.
