I collected cards all through the 80s and 90s and never heard of o-pee-chee, I also had that same card but it was an 83 topps but the picture and card was the same except o pee chee
edit: cool, says it was licensed by Topps and the cards were similiar but slightly different in color and border.

If it is worth $160k and you are going to sell it for $35k, you zhould look at an auction houze. Something like Goldin or zomething.

Seems like an obvious conflict of interest. The greedy grading companies are what’s going to kill the hobby.

Somewhere in my parents house there is a plastic tub in a cardboard box with millions of dollars worth of baseball cards, unfortunately the majority of them we absolutely destroyed as kids. Some of my dads collection from the 60’s in there too.
Bet it’s worth at least tree-fiddy now.

I had 3 or 4 Jordan rookie cards in the late 80s. I just don't remember what I did with them

PSA is a scam and hurting the industry. They get paid more if they grade your card higher.
There was a big scandal not too long ago about regrading cards they purchased from customers and giving them a higher value after they owned them.
They also sent out a memo that their grading criteria is becoming more strict. How can you do that? Evaluate cards for years one way, they simply change.
I hope people start simply verifying authenticity and letting the buyer assess the condition on their own.

PSA's entire business model is based on creating artificial scarcity in the market. They effectively grade on a curve and then entice people to play the lottery and hit paydirt like OP did. On top of that you have to pay membership fees and dues to use the service and on the rare occasions you do win their little lottery, they take a cut of your unrealized profits as described above. It's a scam.
In the way back days, kids put baseball cards in their bike spokes, handled them like a rented mules and then their parents eventually through them in the trash during a spring cleaning. On top of that the cards were manufactured on paper stock with some low paid alcoholic whose wife just left him operating the cutting press or the print roller. This natural form of scarcity created an organic value system - if a card happened to survive the horrors I described above, it became valuable as a collectors item.
Then the landscape changed - companies got better at manufacturing cards and nobody threw them away. The companies also flooded the market with millions of cards. So PSA became this de facto arbiter of value in an otherwise worthless market.

What I wasn't a big fan of was PSA charges you $1,000 if you get a Gem Mt PSA 10 grade on a card with value of over $15k on top of the $60 you pay to get each card graded. I emailed that this doesn't feel right. It should be the same cost whether it grades a PSA 2 or PSA 10 regardless of the price tag.
I welcome a 1K upcharge. That means you did good
Congrats that's a sweet card.
We have a running sports card/memorabilia thread on the more sports board, you could post it there.
