While this Michael Jordan card has set a personal record, it’s worth noting that the overall record for a sports card is still held by the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, which sold for $12.6 million in August 2022. However, the sale of Jordan’s Logoman card is a testament to his undying popularity and the high esteem in which he is held by fans and collectors alike.
The auction also featured other notable sales, including a Kobe Bryant game-worn jersey from the Los Angeles Lakers’ 80th game of the 2013 season, which sold for $1.2 million. This jersey holds sentimental value as it was worn during the game where Bryant scored 34 points, despite tearing his Achilles tendon.
