The jersey worn by Michael Jordan in his last NBA game is among nearly 1,300 lots of sports memorabilia and cards on the block in the newly launched 2021 Goldin Elite Auction.
The autographed jersey had been in the collection of Jordan’s long-time friend George Koehler. It’s been matched to 14 games during Jordan’s last season when he played for the Washington Wizards, including the finale on April 16, 2003. The jersey also comes with MeiGray authentication and the signature has been authenticated as well.
“Jordan is the number one name in the sports collectibles industry and his last ever worn jersey is the most significant item to have ever been offered for public sale. I would not be surprised to see bidding top $1 million,” remarked Ken Goldin the company’s founder and CEO.
The auction closes in two session on January 30 and 31 online at Goldinauctions.com.
Among the other big ticket items in the auction is a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card graded PSA 8 that’s already trending past $500,000. The same card sold for $660,000 via Heritage Auctions in 2017. In November Goldin sold another PSA 8 for $584,250.
