Top 10 Michael Jordan Cameo Cards
In this story:
Cameo cards, sometimes called shadow cards, are cards that capture a player like Michael Jordan but are not designed to be a card of Jordan. One excellent example is the 2008 Topps Chrome card (#24) of Kobe Bryant being closely guarded by Lebron James, in other words, a Lebron James cameo card.
