MICHAEL JORDAN NIKE AIR KNOWS 2 CARD SET BASEBALL/GOLF

Now THIS is a blast from the past.

As the speculator boom destroyed the trading card industry, the end result is that you will see people that amassed cards by the crate load and now are trying to unload them at a loss.

This is a little more reminiscent of the "Bo Knows Sports" advertising campaign at Nike, in which multidisciplinary athlete Bo Jackson excelled at all sports, in addition to two main sports, baseball and football.

Although best known for basketball, and more of a shill for Air Jordans rather than Nike Golf, Michael Jordan did some crossover in other sports as well, spending a brief stint in minor league baseball during his retirement and now spending time in celebrity golf tournaments. But these cards depict a much younger Michael Jordan, when these cards might've been worth more than the $0.01 that they're going for now.
