This is now the record for a card of Michael Jordan. This “Upper Deck Ultimate Collection” from 2003/04 has just been sold at auction for $2.928 million at Goldin on Saturday evening!
It must be said that this card is special, incorporating the NBA logo of a jersey worn by Michael Jordan, as well as an autograph deemed “perfect” from “His Airness”. Enough to send prices soaring among collectors…
Not to mention, this was the first time this card was the subject of a public auction.
“Words simply cannot express the historical significance and importance of this map”Ken Goldin bluntly explained. “This is without a doubt the best, most valuable and sought-after Michael Jordan card ever produced. »

However, we remain far from the record in the world of sports cards, held since 2022 by a card dating from 1952 by Mickey Mantle, the legend of the New York Yankees. It sold for $12.6 million.
In the same sale, Kobe Bryant's jersey, worn during the 2013 match in which the “Black Mamba” ruptured his Achilles tendon, sold for $1.2 million.
