Carl V. Sissac is the photographer who appears more than any other in the DimeLabs Type 1 archive, and this is his third original in the collection — a dramatic, low-angle dunk frame shot from beneath the basket at the old Chicago Stadium. Jordan hangs on the rim in the white Bulls home #23, his shoes fully visible at the top of the play, while the famous SEARS-padded stanchion frames the right side of the image. For collectors, that SEARS backboard is an instant cue: it places the photograph squarely in the Stadium era, one of the most beloved settings of Jordan’s early career.

The defender in the foreground, #44, is Chris Welp — the 7-foot German-born center taken 16th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1987 draft, who played his most active NBA seasons with Philadelphia in 1987–89. His presence dates this to a Bulls–76ers home game in the late 1980s. The back carries Sissac’s purple copyright stamp alongside a hand-written “Original” notation, and PSA has certified the print Type I Authentic — a first-generation press image of Jordan doing the thing the Stadium crowds came to see.
