Jordan–Bryant Dual Logoman Sells for $12.9 Million, Setting Sports-Card Auction Record

Extreme rarity with verified provenance drove a nearly $13 million result despite a PSA 6 grade.

The card features the logo patch worn by Michael Jordan during the 1996-97 season, in which he won his penultimate NBA Championship.

Overview

  • The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs 1-of-1 features Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant’s signatures with game-worn NBA logo patches, including Jordan’s gold 1996-97 anniversary variant.
  • Heritage Auctions sold the card during its Summer Platinum Night event in Dallas after a months-long consignment that began in February, and the winning bidder remains anonymous.
  • The final price of $12.932 million more than doubled Heritage’s $6 million-plus pre-auction estimate following competitive public bidding.
  • The sale surpasses the $12.6 million 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle for the sports-card record yet trails Babe Ruth’s 1932 jersey at $24.12 million for most valuable sports memorabilia.
  • Heritage’s Chris Ivy emphasized the piece’s ironclad authentication and documentation, with guarantees from Upper Deck and PSA, a point of focus as the hobby scrutinizes fraud risks.
