If you’ve ever tried to wrap your head around all the Michael Jordan cards out there — inserts, parallels, base, oddballs, the whole deal — you already know it’s a massive task. So I decided to break it all down into something simple and actually usable.

The MJ Hierarchy Project is a tiered ranking of 378 Jordan cards, laid out in a way that lets you see how everything fits together. Four tiers, organized by rarity, desirability, pack odds, and overall hobby importance. No fluff. Just the truth about how these cards stack up.

This took months of digging, comparing, arguing with myself, and reorganizing until everything made sense. The end result is a clean visual guide that works for brand-new collectors all the way up to people who’ve been collecting MJ since the 90s.

It’s not just a list — it’s a roadmap to understanding the MJ card landscape.
