A stunning oversized die-cut piece from the 1996 Upper Deck Authenticated Memorabilia series — the Michael Jordan All-NBA First Team limited edition, numbered 0233 out of just 2,500. The front features a dramatic full-bleed action photo of Jordan in his red Chicago Bulls #23 home uniform soaring toward the basket, set within a bold arch die-cut shape with a vivid gold holographic foil side panel bearing the cursive "All NBA First Team" script and the Upper Deck Authenticated logo. The black and gold border with bold vertical "MICHAEL JORDAN" text creates an unmistakable display piece.
The back features another dynamic full-bleed Jordan action photo with the serial number stamp and the following tribute text: "Michael Jordan's selection to the All-NBA First Team for the '95-96 season was one of several honors the Bulls' superstar received in his first full season back, including All-Star, Regular Season, and Finals MVP awards. The All-NBA First Team selection was Jordan's 9th in his career."
The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls season is widely considered the greatest team season in NBA history, finishing 72-10 in the regular season and culminating in Jordan's 4th NBA Championship and 4th Finals MVP. This piece captures Jordan at the absolute peak of his powers — his comeback season that silenced every doubt.
⚡ Fun Fact: The 1995-96 Bulls' 72-win regular season record stood for 20 years until the Golden State Warriors won 73 games in 2015-16. Jordan averaged 30.4 PPG, 6.6 RPG, and 4.3 APG that season, winning his 8th scoring title, his 4th regular season MVP, his 4th Finals MVP, and his 4th NBA Championship. Serial numbered die-cut Upper Deck Authenticated pieces from this era are increasingly collectible as Jordan demand continues to grow.
