As I have talked about in the Jordan jersey numbers post, collecting Michael Jordan memorabilia should also act as a record of history. Another aspect of Jordan’s career that is easy to add to your collection is a record of the various teams he played for wearing their jersey.

The ultimate addition as far a jersey recording goes is to add a card which features an actual part of a Jordan game used jersey.

TL;DR - just show me the Jordans!
