NBA legend and the Chicago Bulls icon, Michael Jordan needs no introduction in the sporting world. And nor does his memorabilia. Just recently, his Dream Team jersey where he hid Reebok’s name fetched over $3 million dollars. Then came his game-worn jersey and if those were not enough, even his cards were auctioned for $400k-plus. Now, they discovered a rare and lost collection related to Jordan. The collection we are talking here about is a certain set of specific sports cards.

According to ‘PR Newswire‘, this collection includes around 500 sports cards of the legendary player. They found the box containing these cards in a house in Tucson, Arizona. The person who inherited the cards contacted ‘PR Newswire’. The very person deemed the collection as his brother’s belongings.

Jordan has been a hero for his supporters belonging to different age groups. The high six-figure price tag on these rare discoveries about him is unsurprising. Meanwhile, the Director of Auction Monthly – Ryan Jones stated his thoughts on the collection.
