Trivia |
- Card #NNO Michael Jordan AU was the first Jordan autograph inserted into packs, other versions were signed as giveaways to participants of Michael Jordan sponsored basketball camps. The original out-of-pack versions carry an authentication hologram where the serial number begins with the letter prefix BAC or BAD only.

Michael Jordan’s first autographed card available through packs was featured in this beautiful set, and is extremely rare. A trade card was inserted into packs at a rate of 1:34,560 packs. It had to be redeemed by 12/31/1996, so the window of opportunity was limited. Upper Deck would mail back the autographed card with a hologram on the back containing the prefix BAD. They also sent a separate 2.5”x3.5” authentication card with a hologram on it containing a matching BAD number as was on the autographed card. (Although it has been said that BAC was also used, I have never seen an authentication card with that prefix. It is always BAD). For some reason, Beckett assigned this card a #NNO designation. All Jordan autographs have the number 8 on the back. There are no unnumbered versions. This historic and beautiful piece is rarely offered for sale.

Is it true that an autographed MJ could be obtained in these packs? I see reference to a "trade card" on the box, which makes me think it would need to be mailed in, in order to receive the auto.

This is a 1995-96 season release, in fact, it was the last one. It was the first set issued after I personally discovered NBA basketball cards, and also the first set I completed, as I recieved a complete set for my birthday in 1996. | ||
