Heritage Auctions will oversee the sale of the 12-card set, which experts estimate could go for up to 400,000 USD (CAD 575,000). The cards were first released by the Star Company in 1984.

The high price is mainly due to the inclusion of the Michael Jordan card, considered one of the most valuable pieces of memorabilia associated with his career with the Chicago Bulls. This card predates the sought-after 1986 Fleer rookie card.

The card captures Jordan attempting a rebound during his first NBA season. It is in "near mint" condition, with a PSA grade of 8.5.

The other cards in the set feature Jordan's teammates from the 1984-85 season. Their condition is rated from "excellent-mint" to "near-mint".

The auction will start on January 24 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Collectors should start preparing their funds now.
