Why this card
DimeLabs perspective
Tuff Stuff was the dominant sports-card price-guide magazine of the late 1980s and 1990s, a monthly publication out of Virginia that served as the hobby’s reference for card values across baseball, basketball, football, hockey and boxing — later a sister title to Sports Collectors Digest. Each issue carried a centerfold sheet of perforated insert cards meant to be torn out by readers. This postcard, #6 in the 1991 series, departs from the photo covers in the set: it is an original portrait of Jordan illustrated by the artist Dan Reilly, signed ‘Reilly ’90’ in the lower corner. The composition pairs a full-figure drawing of Jordan elevating for a dunk with a large head-and-shoulders portrait beneath the bold Tuff Stuff wordmark — a hand-drawn, nostalgic treatment unlike anything in his mainstream cardboard run. The card back, captioned ‘Five Michael Facts’ and crediting the original art to Dan Reilly, is dated © 1991 Tuff Stuff Publications, Inc. Because the cards were perforated and intended to be hand-cut from the magazine, clean copies with full margins are uncommon, and gem-grade survivors rarer still. Across all grades, PSA has graded 31 copies, and only two have received a PSA 10. DimeLabs owns one of those two.
