This is not a reference to Michael Jordan's star-crossed baseball career; rather the card company with whom MJ signed with in 1992 and became the place for proper MJ collectibles—especially of him in Colossal, the jersey we love that he wore in '97.
As SLAM explained in an informative 2020 piece by Alex Squadron,
The exclusive, ongoing partnership makes Upper Deck the sole producer of authenticated collectibles related to MJ, from cards to figurines to coins to other memorabilia (autographed jerseys, sneakers, basketballs, art and more, ranging in price from roughly $3,000 to $50,000). Over the past three decades, Upper Deck has created novel pieces such as “The Wings Breaking Through,” an iconic photo of MJ that includes a full-size Spalding ball emerging out of its Plexiglas casing, and “The Show,” the largest autographed MJ item ever.
