A game-worn and autographed Michael Jordan jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for $14 million, establishing a new price record for basketball memorabilia. According to ABC News, the sale was reported by anchor David Muir.
The transaction marks the second-highest price ever achieved for a sports jersey, remaining second only to the 1932 World Series jersey worn by Babe Ruth.
Ten million dollars could buy a nice house in most of the country. Sports collecting is wild.
Does the Babe Ruth jersey actually beat this? I thought Jordan had the record until now.
The Jordan brand legacy is undeniable. This sale proves his cultural impact transcends basketball.
I still can’t believe people pay that much for used fabric. What is wrong with us?
