Little demand.

Easy for anyone to sell.  Just put it on ebay and you will get what the market will pay.

I personally don't see card values getting higher.  We might be at a peak, where people who actually used to collect cards are now hitting that midlife crisis sweet spot and have disposable income.  Kids these days could not care less about sports cards, and I don't think will be looking to buy classics from their youth when they have money in 30 years.

This. It was a run. Nobody will ever care again.

On the other hand--Jordan still being alive is the only reason why that card isn't worth $40-50k currently.  Don't get me wrong--I don't disagree with what you are saying---but the fact that Jordan is still alive is what gives that card upside.  What do you think happens when Jordan passes away?  That card skyrockets when that happens.    It's very hard to give the OP a definitive answer on if the card is worth buying if he gives us no idea how much he'd be paying for it either.  If the card is truly legit--and his "good buddy" would offer to him at a "good buddy" great price--then it makes sense.  If his good buddy wants high retail pricing for it--then it's not as clear whether or not it's a good buy.
