Collectors and Fans of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James Shell Out Big Money for Valuable Memorabilia at Auction

As far as NBA memorabilia goes, fans are crazy about them. Who doesn’t want to own a piece of valuable material that was once in the hands of Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant? Everybody does! But the prices these things sell at, are way beyond our imagination. Sometimes we even think if the price tag is justified or it has just blown up due to some factor or the other. 

For instance, the hype around LeBron James is crazy. But, how much do you think an autographed exquisite rookie card of LeBron would sell for? The rare card fetched a startling amount of $1.8 million when it was put up by Goldin Auctions. 

Goldin Auction House is definitely the place for you if you are an avid collector of rare items that once belonged to players or have their priceless signature on them. Fans will now have an increased attachment towards Kobe Bryant memorabilia and Goldin’s have auctioned a lot of them. 

A game-used cast belonging to Kobe recently sold for $33,600. Moreover, a pair of replica championship rings from the 1999-2000 season went on sale for a mammoth price. The rings were gifted by Kobe to his parents who later sold it for a hefty amount. 

Moreover, the recent release and the success of ‘The Last Dance,’ majorly contributed to the overwhelming hype around Michael Jordan. Not saying that he didn’t have it in recent years, but the docuseries made us relieve and once again celebrate the legacy of #23. 

Michael Jordan memorabilia gain huge attention from collectors

Michael Jordan has seen a lot of fame in his career. During his time with the Chicago Bulls, the media never shifted their attention from him. But what was the moment that made him great? What made the Bulls select ‘His Airness’ as the 3rd pick in the 1984 NBA Draft?

Jordan enjoyed three successful years as a ‘Tar Heel,’ playing for the University of North Carolina. In his freshman year, a young MJ sunk a beautiful three-pointer with just seconds to go help his team lift the 1982 NCAA championship against a Georgetown team led by Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing. 

Now this game was the most special moment in MJ’s early career. A shot that made him a star. Moreover, a ticket from the 1982 finals, signed by Jordan went up for sale, fetching Goldin a sum of $20,400. 

That is not all. There is more. Who doesn’t the iconic movement, “I’m Back,” from Jordan’s career. The original fax, along with the signature of Michael Jordan sold at the auction for a price of $28,800. 

There are more items selling in the auction that once belonged to a one, “Mike Jordan.” Yes, a Babe Ruth League baseball signed by 13-year-old MJ sold for $36,000.
