Well, I’ve always been a huge fan of Michael Jordan, and getting his 1989 NBA hoops card was like a dream. So, I decided to find out where I could buy one.

First, I started with local sports card stores. I hopped in my car and drove around town, checking out every store I could find. I walked into these stores, asked the shop owners if they had the 1989 Michael Jordan hoops card. Most of them just shook their heads and said they didn’t have it in stock. But they were kind enough to give me some advice. One guy told me to try some online marketplaces.
Then, I got back home and fired up my computer. I logged onto a few well – known online marketplaces. I typed in “Michael Jordan 1989 NBA hoops card” in the search bar. There were tons of results, but I had to be careful. I scrolled through page after page, looking at the descriptions, the condition of the cards, and the prices. Some were way too expensive, like they were asking for an arm and a leg.
I also joined some sports card collector groups on social media. I posted that I was looking for the 1989 Michael Jordan hoops card. People in the group were really helpful. They shared their own experiences of buying cards, and some even told me about some smaller, niche online platforms.
I checked out those niche platforms. There, I found a few cards that seemed promising. I contacted the sellers, asked them more questions about the cards, like how they got them and if they were authentic. One seller was really chatty and sent me some pictures of the card from different angles.
After a lot of back – and – forth, I finally found a card that was in good condition and at a price I could afford. I clicked the “buy” button, and then I just had to wait. A few days later, the card arrived in the mail. I was so excited when I opened the package. There it was, the 1989 Michael Jordan NBA hoops card, right in front of my eyes.

So, to sum it up, if you’re looking to buy a Michael Jordan 1989 NBA hoops card, start with local stores for some advice. Then, hit the online marketplaces, but be careful with the prices. Joining collector groups can also give you some great leads. And don’t be afraid to explore niche platforms. With a bit of patience and some legwork, you can find the card you’ve been dreaming of.
