Michael Jordan memorabilia auction records
Overview
High-value sales of Michael Jordan memorabilia from the 1998 NBA Finals have set significant market records. In early October, a game-worn jersey from Game 3 of the series sold for $12.3 million through the digital auction house Joopiter, surpassing previous records for Jordan items.
Shortly after, a private transaction facilitated by Hunt Auctions saw a red road jersey worn during Game 2 of the same 1998 series sell for $14 million. This sale, involving a jersey from a game where Jordan scored 37 points, represents a new record for basketball memorabilia. David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, noted that Jordan’s memorabilia has transitioned into an “elite asset class comparable to iconic works of art.”
