388.0. "Jordan Inc" by GOOEY::MCEVOY () Tue Feb 04 1992 14:50

    I read where Michael Jordan is no longer allowing the NBA to sell his
    likeness -- Nike now has the rights. Will this affect his cards in the
    future? or is all of that covered by the NBA players association?

    I don't beliee it affgects cards at all.  I believe it has to
    do with his likeness on NBA licensed merchandise -- t-shirts,
    sweatshirts, lunch boxes, jammies, etc.
    
    I believe that each card manfacturer has an agreement/license
    with both the NBA and the NBAPA (player's association) to use
    any/all likenesses.
    
    Now of course,if Jordan were to stop benig a member of the NBAPA
    (ala Dickerson in the NFL), he could be free to negotiate his
    own card-deal.

    Anyone pick up any of the NIKE M. Jordan cards.  There in a little
    grey package, with 4 or 5 cards in it.  Any idea if these are worth
    much, and the dealer said only shoe stores would be carrying them,
    and pretty rare at that.  Anyone know??
