1985 Michael Jordan \"Rookie Summer League\" TYPE 1 Original Photo by Sissac PSA For Sale

An exceptional early-career image of Michael Jordan, photographed during the 1985 Schlitz Malt Liquor Summer League by noted Chicago photographer Carl V. Sissac. Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA as an authentic Type I original photograph, this striking action image dates to the summer immediately following Jordan\'s historic 1984-85 NBA rookie campaign.

Jordan is captured attacking off the dribble, low to the floor and in full competitive motion, offering a remarkable glimpse of the young superstar before his career had developed into one of the most celebrated legacies in professional sports. The photograph has a distinctly intimate quality compared with the familiar NBA arena imagery of Jordan, documenting him competing in the Chicago summer-league environment during one of the earliest and most collectible periods of his professional career.

The photograph is credited to Carl V. Sissac, whose photographer\'s credit stamp appears on the reverse. Period handwritten notation on the verso identifies the image with the Chicago Pro-Am Summer League and 1985, further contributing to its photographic provenance.

Jordan was coming off one of the greatest rookie seasons in NBA history. During the 1984-85 campaign he averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, was named an NBA All-Star, earned NBA Rookie of the Year honors, and immediately established himself as one of basketball\'s most electrifying young stars. Photographs originating from this formative 1984-85/1985 period remain especially desirable to collectors seeking imagery from the beginning of the Jordan phenomenon.

A compelling combination of Michael Jordan, early-career subject matter, 1985 Chicago basketball history, identifiable photographer provenance, and PSA/DNA Type I authentication. Far removed from the countless later-generation Jordan images produced during his superstardom, this original photograph represents a tangible artifact from the period when the basketball world was only beginning to understand what Michael Jordan would become.
