"Do you know anything about the photo that appears on Michael Jordan's '86-'87 Fleer RC? What I'm trying to find out is a possible date for the dunk. Obviously it's like finding a needle in a haystack, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. The shot's definitely from his rookie season of '84-'85, as that was the only season he was with the Bulls while they had that old style jersey. The game's also against the NJ Nets. Other than that, I know nothing. I've narrowed it down to a few different dates from his rookie season (12/14, 1/16, 4/13), but haven't gotten any further.
The reason I ask is because I'm a painter who specializes in vintage baseball scenes, and I was hoping to branch out into some of the other sports. I can't think of a better image to recreate than that Jordan shot. If you'd like to see any examples of what I do, my website is in my signature.
So yeah, even if it's just a photographer's name, any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Here is the Fleer card, as well as a larger version of the picture sent to me by Graig.


It does look like a Nets home game, if that helps narrow it down at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad he couldn't just call Fleer and ask, I'm sure all those records are long gone and I doubt UD has any knowledge to help.
