Please help me identify this Michael Jordan card. It is lenticular. I have heard that it was a 7/11 Promo, but can't seem to find anything about it. How it was obtained. What year? Is it listed in the database? Thanks!

He didn't wear #45 until March of 1995 and only for 17 Regular season games + 5 playoff games, switching back to #23 vs Orlando May 10th. I've never seen this card, but that gives you a timeline of when this picture could have been taken.

He’s wearing #45. That’s when he came back from baseball. There is no way that it’s from 91-92. Usually promos at least say where they were printed, if not anything else. Both Upper Deck and Gatorade logos with literally nothing else…seems fishy? Might be some bootleg homemade cash grab thing.

Can't be that one as Jordan is wearing 45, so must be sometime from around 1995 when he made his comeback following his first retirement and briefly wore that number.
I did a quick search of Jordan NNO cards from that time period and could not see it listed here.
Edit: Ha, beaten to the punch, twice...

Following on from the homemade thought.
The whole card, including the name, looks a little pixelated. I don't think it is the photo as the card stand looks sharp. Is that a sign the card could be inferior print quality and potentially homemade?

Ha. Completely forgot the lenticular part of it! Makes sense it would appear blockier. You are correct that the 45 does look "off".

their are materials in hobby shops(Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc) that you can apply to photos to add the lenticular effect.
this smells and looks homegrown to me. call it a broder to be exact
