In this story:

Michael Jordan is widley rcognized as one of the best NBA players ever. He won six championships, each with MVP honors, and five regular-season MVP awards. Jordan is the only player to win MVP, Finals MVP, All-Defensive Team, a championship, and a scoring title in the same season. He accomplished that four times. It is no wonder that his cards are selling for so much in the hobby. On April 23rd, a card that only featured Jordan, sold for a record amount.

The highest sale for a Michael Jordan card, featuring him only, sold for $4.25 million in a private sale. This card is uniquely numbered to 23 , so it is not your typical one-of-one sale.

There have been three other sales recorded since 2021 for this card, as low as $552,000. That card was graded an eight by Beckett, but the patch was all white.

There was another sale in 2021 for $2.7 million. The patch on that card was also multi-colored.

A New Record Sale

Now a new record! This 1997-98 Upper Deck Game Jersey Autograph Michael Jordan Signed Patch Card just sold for $4,250,000 in a private sale which is the highest price ever achieved for any Michael Jordan Card.

The card features the game-worn jersey that Jordan wore in the 1992 All-Star Game, which was held in Orlando. The East would lose by 40 points in that game, and Jordan had 18 points. The 1992 All-Star Game was Jordan's eighth selection; he ended his career with 14 appearances.

Michael Jordan Career

One of Jordan's most impressive records that still holds today is points per game, sitting at 30.1. There is only one other player who averaged 30 points per game, Wilt Chamberlain. Four active players are in the top ten of that list, but with three of them towards the end of their careers, there is only one threat to break that record: Luka Doncic.

Jordan had an interesting career, retiring three times. He took off one year and played baseball in the White Sox organization. He came back to win three more championships, then retired for three seasons. Jordan played for the Wizards for two seasons and would retire for his third and final time.
