1999 Upper Deck MJ Retires Jumbo – Hoop Magazine #C18 Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) This scarce oversize jumbo insert from Upper Deck’s 1999 “MJ Retires” tribute set reproduces the May 1997 issue of Hoop Magazine, capturing Michael Jordan at the height of his second Bulls championship run. As part of the limited Hoop Magazine subset (C14–C20 range), card #C18 showcases vibrant, magazine-style photography and layout that brings a classic periodical cover feel to the trading card format. Issued shortly after Jordan’s second retirement announcement in January 1999, the entire MJ Retires Jumbo set pays homage to “His Airness” with premium, larger-than-standard cards (approximately 3.5” x 5”). The Hoop Magazine inserts stand out for their nostalgic design, blending high-quality action or portrait imagery from Jordan’s Chicago Bulls era with the authentic look of a 1990s basketball magazine cover.
