Jordan Sits at Its Highs. LeBron Already Turned.

6 of the 7 Jordan cards with a current weekly reading are within 1% of their peak. The LeBron rookie we tracked has given back 10.8%.

Across 14 Michael Jordan card identities and 938 verified sales, the median 30-day price sits 16.9% above the prior 60 days, and 13 of 14 moved up. More useful than the level: of the 7 identities with a current, well-sampled weekly reading, 6 are printing at or within 0.6% of their highest week all quarter.

Why it matters

For anyone hunting a deal, direction matters more than level. We reported Friday that the PSA 9 Topps Chrome LeBron rookie peaked the week of July 20 and has traded down three straight weeks. Jordan has not turned. If you are waiting for a seller to come back to your number, that is currently happening in LeBron rookies and it is not happening here.

By the numbers

• 6 of 7 — Jordan identities with a current, well-sampled weekly reading that are printing at or within 0.6% of their quarter high.
• +16.9% — median 30-day move against the prior 60 days. Mean +25.5%, so a few inserts are running much harder than the base.
• 938 — verified single-card sales across both windows, after lots, reprints and altered slabs were removed.

Zoom in

The single exception is one we flagged Thursday. The 1989 Hoops #200 in PSA 10 is the only one of the 14 down over 30 days, at -1.2%, and it sits 7.2% below its peak week of June 22 — the oldest peak on the board by six weeks. Everything else topped in the last two weeks. The high-population junk-wax PSA 10 we said was worth watching is still the only thing rolling over.

Reality check

• The current week is not finished. Aug. 3 readings cover six days, not seven.
• “At peak” only counts when the latest reading is current. Three identities, including the 1986 Fleer #57 in PSA 8, have not produced a qualifying week since July 27 — thin trade, not a demonstrated hold. We excluded them.
• We require 5+ sales at both ends before calling a move off the peak, and we compare titles and sold prices, not slabs. eBay reports sold date, not sold time.

What's next

The two fastest Jordan movers are mid-grade inserts, not blue chips: the 1987 Fleer #2 in PSA 7 is up 42.5% and the 1988 Fleer #120 in PSA 9 is up 31.9%, both printing their high this week. That is the pattern LeBron ran before it turned — buyers reaching for the affordable copy while top grades barely moved.

How we track this

RazMania monitors completed eBay sales daily, filtering out multi-card lots, reprints, and cross-listed items to isolate genuine single-card sales. Prices are final sold prices. Comparable-sale medians are calculated from 938 verified sales over the trailing 90 days. eBay reports sold date, not sold time.
