2020 Topps Finest Flashbacks
Making the Grade (Jan.): Iconic moments, early autographs, legendary stars, vintage greats and more for a new year

Like many collectors, Buzz is a fan of grading ... so here's this month's grading diary.
MJ's MOMENT
The Card: Michael Jordan 2008 Goudey Hit Parade of Champions
The Reason Graded: This moment turns 35 this year and this insert card is one that ... came out of a box of baseball cards. It's a throwback to a 1951 set with stars from a little bit of everywhere in this Goudey version. These cards are smaller -- allowing for them to bounce around inside the wrappers -- but the only even close to deterring issue for grading with this copy was an irregular spot in the card stock itself ... but you can't even see it in this image. This finally made it into a grading submission of mine last year because it's an iconic moment for one of biggest names in sports history. The moment? This was Jordan's first championship.
The Grade: CGC 9Grade 5.5 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 10 P10 Total Population 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 4 Reality Check: Behold! The worst of the four graded. Doesn't matter to me ... I just like the card and nines are fine.
