This listing is for a 1995-96 Topps Finest #229 Michael Jordan card featuring the original protective coating, Mint. A landmark Jordan card from the Finest series, this version with coating is among the more desirable variants for collectors, especially in high grade. High condition, sharp corners, clean edges, excellent centering. With Coating – Rare protective layer still intact, a plus for condition and authenticity. Iconic Player & Brand – Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, Finest set: a must-have for basketball card enthusiasts. Desirable Variant – Coated editions are less common than “peeled” or “non-coated” versions. Why this card is sought after: The Mid-1990s Finest series introduced premium chrome finishes and coatings, making some versions more fragile — intact coating helps preserve the card’s original appearance. Jordan remains one of the most collectible players ever; his cards from this era retain strong demand among both vintage and modern collectors. Raw high grade for a coated variant positions the card well between common mid-grade copies and rare PSA 10 slabs.
