Words can simply not express the historical significance and the importance of this card. It is, without a doubt, the single best and the single most valuable Michael Jordan card - and the most sought-after - that has ever been produced.
Notably, this is not the most expensive card in history: a baseball card of Mickey Mantle was sold for $12.6 million in 2022.
Jordan, 61, who played for Chicago and Washington, won the NBA championship six times with Chicago (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998) and twice won Olympic gold with the US national team (1984, 1992).
