The 1993–94 Fleer Living Legends is one of the most recognizable Jordan inserts of the era, and it earns the name — a six-card set honoring the game’s veteran superstars, with Jordan at #4 (the cards run alphabetically and are numbered ‘X of 6’ on the back). What makes it instantly memorable is the design: the front shows Jordan twice, two deep-etched, high-gloss action cut-outs — one of him pulling up in the red Bulls road uniform, the other dribbling up the floor — laid over a starburst gold-foil background, with ‘LIVING LEGENDS’ and his name in gold along the side.

It was a real step up in insert production for Fleer, and it was tough to pull: these were seeded roughly one in 37 fifteen-card packs (about one in 24 of the larger packs) of Fleer’s second series. That heavy gold foil is exactly what makes a PSA 10 so hard. The foil chips at the edges and borders with the slightest handling — the corners and the thin foil surface show wear immediately — so despite a healthy graded population, gem copies are a small fraction of it: of 2,616 copies graded across all grades, only 85 have reached PSA 10, a 3.25 percent gem rate.
