Michael Jordan Sports Cards Highlight the Heritage Fall Auction

There is no doubt the grail for many would be the 1986 Fleer Jordan Rookie Card in a PSA 10. However, the most populous card of the Jordan Fleer Rookie is the PSA 8 grade, with 9,432 copies in existence. With the year-over-year growth rate of 38.19% and an estimated entry point of $16,000, this is still a strong investment opportunity.

Two PSA 8s are up for bidding at the Heritage Sports Fall Auction ending October 25th.

The Game-Worn Autographed High-Grade PSA Michael Jordan Card to Watch at Heritage Auctions

When Michael Jordan and Upper Deck extended their long-standing partnership in July of this year, collectors knew that Upper Deck would be the only option for autographed cards.

The card is expected to fetch over $350,000, with a buyer’s premium is a PSA 9 – Auto 8 1998 Upper Deck SPx Game Worn Jersey Autograph Card numbered 13/23.

The Upper Deck MJx Subset Taps into the First 3-Peat of the Bulls

Another Michael Jordan game-worn autographed card to watch at the Fall Heritage Auction comes from the MJx subset. This subset has the game-worn jersey from the 1992-93 season, when the Chicago Bulls won their first 3-peat. This was also the season when Jordan averaged 41 points in the NBA Finals and won his third straight Finals Most Valuable Player award. The card also captions the popular red Bulls jersey in the action shot.
