Overview
- Goldin Auctions confirmed a private sale of an aftermarket-signed 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie for $2.7 million, a record for a card signed outside the production chain.
- The card was graded PSA Mint 9 with a 10 autograph grade and is one of nine signed by Jordan in a 2024 private, witnessed session.
- Goldin said the card is not the same PSA 9 that sold for $2.5 million through Pharrell Williams’ Joopiter in late June.
- Jordan’s long-running Upper Deck exclusivity left very few legitimate signed Fleer rookies beyond 23 copies from a 2006 buyback program, increasing demand for recent private-signing examples.
- High-end momentum continues in 2025, including a Jordan–Kobe Bryant Upper Deck dual-autograph card that reached $12.9 million at auction.
