A record price was set recently for the red 1997-98 Skybox Precious Metal Gems Michael Jordan card.

One of 100 PMG Jordan cards issued (10 Emerald/Green and 90 Ruby/Red), the BGS 8.5 example sold for $564,000 in PWCC’s July Auction.

Only four copies of the Red PMG have ever been awarded a higher technical grade from Beckett. Since 2020, of the nine versions of this card that have been sent to a public auction, just two  were graded to a BGS 8.5. There were none sent to auction that were graded higher.

Among the other 378 lots sold in the $17.1 million sale was a 2003-04 Exquisite Collection LeBron James rookie patch autograph card that went for $1.2 million. Despite the seven-figure price tag, it ranks as only the tenth highest LeBron card ever sold.
