The NBA was as soon as by no way the same after Michael Jordan debuted in the 1984-85 season. That makes one thing connected to his rookie season extremely treasured.
So the truth that his signed rookie jersey sold at public sale for $180,000, per Goldin Auctions, doesn’t approach as grand of a surprise. Or that the general public sale living described it as the “Jordan Holy Grail.”
Plus, the jersey came in pristine condition:
“Goldin Auctions is proud to give the most sharp examples of a rookie Michael Jordan game worn Bulls jersey ever put up for Public sale. This jersey has been completely authenticated by the sport worn consultants at MEARS, who possess graded this jersey its top most likely grade of A10. Here is the true game worn Michael Jordan rookie jersey to possess ever been given the A10 grade by MEARS. Here is moreover the true signed rookie Jordan game worn jersey that was as soon as licensed by MEARS.”
So, yeah, this jersey was as soon as about as honest because it gets for the NBA memorabilia collector with a severely disposable income.
