Michael Jordan’s ultimate card soars to $2.9M in historic auction triumph

Another Michael Jordan-related record has been set, Report informs via FOX Sports.

A 2003-04 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Logoman card autographed by Jordan and numbered 1-of-1 was sold for $2.928 million at collectibles marketplace Goldin on Saturday night. The price includes a buyer's premium, making it the highest price tag ever for a Jordan card.

The card includes a patch of the NBA's logo, which is believed to be from a game-worn jersey, and is the first Jordan Logoman card to have his Chicago Bulls jersey, according to the description. The card grader PSA gave the card an Authentic grade and also gave the autograph a perfect score for authenticity.

Goldin founder and CEO Ken Goldin called it a generational and legendary card. He also said it was a long lost card as he promoted the auction, saying no one had seen it since it was pulled in 2003 as an individual collector had it for 20 years.

"Words can simply not express the historical significance and the importance of this card," Goldin said. "It is, without a doubt, the single best and the single most valuable Michael Jordan card — and the most sought-after — that has ever been produced."

The previous record for the highest-sold Jordan card was a 1997-98 Upper Deck Game Jersey game-worn patch card that was autographed and sold for $2.7 million. Goldin also auctioned off that card, selling it in 2021.
