Card of the Week: Johnny Kilroy 1993-94 Upper Deck SE #JK1

The legend of Johnny Kilroy can be traced to Nike's Air Jordan IX advertising campaign, hosted by Cowboy Gil.


Perpetuating the myth, Upper Deck ran with the Kilroy character in their 1993-4 SE collection, the subject of our Card of the Week. Click through for higher resolution.


The featured victim in this card is a young Alonzo Mourning, who, for the record, had a tough time against the high flying Bulls in his rookie year.

Back in the day, the Kilroy card had a going rate of around $15. While the card hasn't exactly increased in value over the years, a new pair of retro Kilroy IXs will set you back around $200 on the online marketplace.


 For us, well, we were always bigger fans of Motorboat Jones.
