These days gold cards aren’t necessarily just a foil coating coloured to look like gold. There are plenty of 22 and 23 karat gold plated cards available.
One of the properties of gold is that the metal can be pressed very thinly while maintaining its strength to stay in one piece. This means a small amount of almost pure gold can be coated onto a basketball card to make that new Jordan card in your collection really stand out.
Don’t assume that an actual gold card will empty your pockets either. The small amount of gold needed per card means the cards can be mass produced and far from extremely rare. You can add one of these outstanding Jordan basketball cards to your collection starting from around only $10!
These cards make fantastic items to add to your collection and surely standout on display.
Just be sure to remember that not all ‘gold’ cards are made with actual gold. Some cards just use a gold coloured foil to give the impression of gold. Look for 23 (or 22) Karat (or kt) in the listing. As always if in doubt then ask the seller.
Some nice Jordan gold cards include the 1998 Fleer Rookie Reprint 23 Karat Gold, the 1998 Fleer Sticker Reprint 23 Karat Gold and the 1997 Z-Force 23 Karat Gold card are all featured below.
