For a look at the series of events that led to the the creation of this famous set take a look at the overview of the Michael Jordan PMG Green. In a nutshell, the base set was designed around the idea of placing players into a space super hero universe in collaboration with Marvel illustrators.
The Precious Metal Gems Red (officially Ruby) was inspired by designer Jean MacLeod’s wedding ring which contains a ruby.
The Precious Metal Gems Red are a parallel of the base set featuring a beautiful rich red foil overlay of the super hero universe beyond the deep etched full colour player photo.
The full PMG set is serial numbered to 100 cards with the first 10 reserved for the PMG Green and cards 11-100 reserved for the PMG Red. Thus the Red parallels are a 90 card set.
The Precious Metal Gems are considered by most to be some of the greatest Jordan cards of all time and they are valued accordingly. Take a look at some of the related articles here for a look at some of the sales over the years.
