Michael Jordan dominated the National Basketball Association across 15 seasons, winning an outstanding 10 scoring titles while averaging 30.1 points per game for his career. Jordan, the man most responsible for bringing the NBA to a global audience, remains the most sought-after figure in the hobby nearly 40 years after his NBA debut with the Chicago Bulls. A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, Jordan defines excellence on the hardwood. The one-time Minor League Baseball phenom was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
Jordan's greatness on the court has immediately translated to intense desirability for his very best trading cards. In recognition of that trend – the spirit of which dictates that "MJ's" finest collectibles command the most fervent interest as well as the highest prices – a tremendously important, highest-level Michael Jordan tribute piece is here offered. In fact, the magnitude of this virtually peerless Jordan collectible is fundamentally without equal in the collecting industry.
Encapsulated and graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, with Autograph Grade "9" by PSA/DNA. Hall of Famer. The great Michael Jordan has penned a vivid, blue ink signature on the obverse of this highly desirable collectible. Its cardfront presentation also incorporates a tri-colored, game-worn patch relic from a jersey that was worn by Jordan in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game. The highly exclusive, carefully crafted piece projects an unusual "rounded corners" style, and exhibits a bright, fresh appearance. A congratulatory statement on the card's back attests to the authenticity of the signature and the genuineness of the patch component, and serves as Upper Deck’s COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "21/23." Near Mint to Mint condition.
Simply and succinctly, this is easily the most significant Michael Jordan trading card ever produced. As the first autographed patch card – providentially picturing and honoring Michael Jordan and inspiring entirely new, innovative concepts – this outstanding piece stands tall among all other, nominally comparable modern artifacts. This Jordan card enters a world where a LeBron James RPA recently fetched $5.2 Million, and will realign a realm that saw a lesser version of this spectacular Jordan item realize $1.4 Million. Goldin Auctions, the collecting marketplace's acknowledged leader, is pleased to introduce this phenomenal piece to its rightful, newsworthy measures of international acclaim and enthusiasm.
