In an unprecedented event, a Michael Jordan basketball card has shattered records, becoming the highest-priced card in history after being sold for an astonishing sum.
The autographed Jordan Logoman card, part of the 2003-04 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection, was purchased for a staggering $2.928 million on Saturday at Goldin, a renowned collectibles marketplace. The card's uniqueness is further amplified by its 1-of-1 numbering, as reported by Dan Hajducky of ESPN.
Logoman cards, typically limited to a single copy, feature NBA logo patches from jerseys worn during games. The Michael Jordan card sold on Saturday is the first of its kind to include a jersey from his tenure with the Chicago Bulls, according to Hajducky. Adding to its allure, the card has been graded as "Authentic" by card grader PSA and received a perfect 10 for Jordan's on-card autograph.
The sale of this card has sparked a wave of nostalgia among card enthusiasts, reminding them of the thrill of collecting everything from sports cards to Pokemon cards, and even vintage Coca-Cola cards.
One such enthusiast recalls a childhood memory of spotting a coveted card on a Wal-Mart shelf at the same time as another child. In a dramatic turn of events, the other child, being closer, managed to grab the card first, leaving a lasting impression on the disappointed enthusiast.
