Yes, the Star Co. card number #101 featuring Michael Jordan in a Bulls uniform is the star of the set. Still, there are plenty of other amazing rookies, stars, and Hall of Famer included in these early Star company sets. Case in point, here is a beautiful John Stockton XRC that has been graded as a PSA 8.

Dominic Wilkins was one of the most pure scorers the NBA has ever seen. In the annals of NBA history, he is still somewhat disregarded for some reason. I mean, “The Human Highlight Reel” - what a bad-ass nickname! He’s in the top 50 players of all-time and was like watching lightning on the court. He had an insane, raw power and was an offensive genius. Yes, he never won a championship, but peaking during the Larry bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan era will do that sometimes. As you’ve seen, I really do love these early Star Co. XRC rookies. This one has been signed, in person, And now that PSA is actually grading Star Co. cards, I’ll likely submit this for dual grading at some point.

This Isiah Thomas Star Co. rookie autograph checks off a lot of boxes for me. He is a Hall of Fame player with both an NCAA in NBA championship. He went to my alma mater, in Indiana University, and I love these early Star cards. A beautiful, bold in-person blue autograph really seals the deal on this one. Early Star Co. rookies are pretty hard to get, and this one as a stunner!

Man, I love early Star Co. rookies. This one, especially, stuck out to me. I have been on the market for an Olajuwon Star rookie autograph for some time. When I saw this one with the inscription, “The Dream” I knew I had to have it. I likely overpaid for it, but you don’t see many of these out there, especially in great condition.

Okay, this is my second best Star Co. Jordan card. Yes, this is his second year Star (still an XRC as it is pre-1986 Fleer Jordan “rookie“), and this is still an amazing card! With these red borders, and centering always at a premium, these are very difficult to find in gem mint grade. My best star company Jordan card is one that is autographed, but this is still in the top few cards in my collection.
