Cards in Hand: Chris McGill’s 1998-99 Upper Deck Michael Jordan Gold 1/1 #230a

We’re kicking off Cards in Hand , a brand-new Stacking Slabs miniseries brought to you by eBay, with Chris McGill from Card Ladder. Cards in Hand was recorded at The National where the energy around our hobby was at an all-time high. Chris shares the story of his 1998-99 Upper Deck Michael Jordan Gold 1/1 — a card with a look and feel that takes you straight back to the ‘90s. We get into his return to MJ collecting, how his one-of-one mindset shaped the pursuit, the backstory of this card’s 22-year disappearance, and the exact moment the photo on the card was taken. This conversation is about more than one card — it’s about how your collecting identity can shift, the hunt for true rarities, and the energy you feel when the right card finally lands in your hand A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Cards in Hand .
