First up is Michael Jordan 1988 Fleer #17 in PSA 8, his third year card in a Near Mint Grade is POP 8,600, meaning it’s easy to find, and it transacts often, which means it’s easy to sell. Two very important characteristics when identifying flippable sports cards.

The simple pattern here based on this chart is that this card sells multiple times per month for less than $100, and multiple times per month for more than $120, and sold 45 times for $140 in 2023, with 39 sales in June, all for more than $100, and all but two for more than $120, including three sales over $150 and the top sale of 2023 for $175 on June 27.

In short, buying this card for less than $100 throughout the year when you can find it (and if you need help finding it - we’ve curated links below for you showing eBay auctions to bid on - but be careful to set your maximum bid to around $100 so you leave room for profit!), and selling it in January/February, May/June or September/October is a repeatable process and a reliable way to consistently profit from flipping Jordan cards.

Up next is the same card, Michael Jordan 1988 Fleer Base #17, but this time we’re targeting it in two different grades, and we’re going to recommend cracking it out, and resubmitting it to PSA, and here’s why…

The SGC 8.5 sells for $100 frequently, and for as low as $78.

The BGS 8.5 sells for $100 frequently and for as low as $79.99

A PSA 8.5 sells for an average of $152 throughout the year.

A PSA 9 sells for an average of $291 throughout the year.

By acquiring an SGC or BGS 8.5, or even a CSG 8.5 for less than $100, cracking and submitting to PSA as part of a bulk submission for $19 per card, you’ll be $100 - $120 into a card that you could potentially sell for $152 or $291 if you get the same PSA grade or jump one half grade.
