New to the hobby and most likely unique, this is a group of original photographs of Michael Jordan from a 1988 photo shoot for the famous Wheaties box. Arriving from our consignor, who is a former employee of Dahl and Curry, a Minneapolis-based production house contracted by such companies as 3M, Pillsbury and General Mills, these original proofs are from the photo series used on the Wheaties boxes, taken in a photo studio and a rented gymnasium. The first measures 10 1/4" x 9 11/16" and shows a smiling Michael pouring himself a bowl of flakes (from a box that portrays him as well) and the second measures 10 5/8" x 9" and shows him flying through the atmosphere with ball in hand. The level of detail captured in these proofs is mind-boggling, and these scarce images are being offered to the marketplace for the first time. An LOA from the consignor detailing the entire process is included. An image of a final production box is shown for comparison purposes.
