Sell Your Michael Jordan Cards in Boston — Graded Pays Most

LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys Michael Jordan cards in Boston — and we will say it plainly: Jordan is our favorite buy in the entire card case. Graded slabs lead this page because graded Jordans lead the market: the 1986 Fleer rookie, the Star Company cards, the rare 1990s inserts, the whole Bulls championship run. A PSA, BGS or SGC slab gets its best possible look here, priced off real sales, in front of you, paid the same visit.

Rather keep your Jordan? Pawn it at 3% per month* and it stays yours, stored securely until you redeem it — serious slabs are handled in our private VIP room. Text photos of your cards — front and back, slab label too — to 857-867-6468 for a fast quote before you travel.

The Jordan cards we buy

• 1986 Fleer #57 — THE rookie. Graded copies are our single most wanted card
• 1984-85 Star Company cards — the true early Jordans, slabbed especially
• 1990s inserts and parallels — the rare, the refractors, the numbered chases
• Graded base cards from every Bulls season — top grades pay the premium
• 1987 and 1988 Fleer, and the early Upper Deck years
• Jordan in the sticker, oddball and food-issue formats collectors chase
• Game-era Chicago Bulls team cards and championship-year issues
• Any Jordan slab — PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC — any grade, evaluated on the spot

Graded Jordans are the bluest chips in the hobby, and they are treated that way here. The cert is verified, the grade is priced against real recent sales of the same card in the same grade, and the offer is explained line by line. Raw Jordans are welcome too — with the era's warning attached: the Fleer rookie is the most counterfeited card in the hobby, and checking yours properly is a service we are glad to perform at the counter, free, whether you sell or not.

What makes a Jordan pay more

• The slab and the grade — a top-grade Fleer rookie is a different asset than a mid-grade one
• Verified certification — cert checked against the grading company's database
• Centering — the Fleer rookie runs off-center constantly; centered copies are the scarce ones
• The insert scarcity ladder — numbered and one-per-case 90s inserts over base
• Star Company cards in slabs — thin population, deep demand
• Original, untouched raw copies with grading potential
• Complete Jordan runs and single-owner collections

A Jordan is never priced from a glance. The slab is verified, recent sales of the exact card and grade are the basis, and raw copies are examined for the tells of the counterfeits that flood this market — print, stock, and the famous Fleer back. You see everything we see, and the offer follows from the evidence on the counter.

Authenticated in store — no receipt needed

Every Jordan is authenticated in store before any offer — and with Jordan, authentication is the whole game. Graded cards are cert-verified against the grading company; raw cards are examined under light for print and stock. Fakes of the Fleer rookie are everywhere, and if one ever reaches our counter it gets identified, explained, and handed back — no embarrassment, and no money changes hands on a card that does not check out. No receipt? No problem. Nobody has a 1986 receipt; the card and its cert carry the proof.

The more you bring in, the more you get. One Jordan is a sale; a Jordan collection is a payout. Binders, slab runs and Bulls-era collections are priced as lots — the rookie next to the inserts next to the Star cards earns more together than any of them alone — and the more you bring in, the more you get.

Why bring your Jordan cards here?

Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.

Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.

Questions we hear

Why do graded Jordans pay so much more?

Three reasons: the grade pins the condition so there is nothing to argue; the cert settles authenticity on the most counterfeited cards in the hobby; and the slab buyer pool is the deepest in cards. A top-grade Fleer rookie is a genuinely scarce asset — the offer follows that scarcity.

I think my Fleer rookie might be fake. Will you check it?

Yes — bring it in. We examine print, stock and centering tells at the counter and verify what we can on the spot. If it is real, you get an offer or a grading opinion. If it is not, you get it back with an explanation — no charge, no hard feelings.

Do you buy raw Jordan cards, or only slabs?

Both. Slabs lead because they price fastest, but sharp raw Jordans get real offers — and we will tell you straight if a card looks like it should be graded before it is sold.

Which Jordan inserts are worth the most?

The late-90s numbered parallels, refractors and one-per-case inserts are the chases. Text photos — front and back — to 857-867-6468 and we will identify exactly what you have and what it is trading for.

Can I pawn a Jordan instead of selling it?

Yes — borrow against it at 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge) for up to 4 months, renewable, stored securely — and handled in the VIP room — until you redeem it.
