Description: It’s #223 on the checklist, but it’s the #12 that makes it interesting.Yes, that’s Michael Jordan in front of Vincent. Yes, that’s a 12 on his jersey. And, no, it isn’t an airbrush job trying to trick us into thinking it’s someone else.On February 14, 1990, the Chicago Bulls were in Orlando for a game against the Magic. Jordan’s jersey went missing. According to Sports Illusrated‘s Chris Johnson, a search went through the crowd to see if a fan could loan Jordan their jersey for a night. Nothing. As a last resort, Jordan was forced to wear a nameless #12 jersey the Bulls had.The number switch lasted just the one game but that didn’t stop it from being immortalized on a basketball card.Jordan is in the foreground of the 1990-91 Hoops Sam Vincent #223. But there is a bit of a twist. This version of the card is only in first series packs. The card was switched up for the second series. The image with Jordan wearing #12 changed to one of Vincent dribbling and in a black jersey.
