Okay, so I wanted to find out about this whole expensive sports card thing. I saw some news about a Mickey Mantle card going for over 12 million bucks, which is just insane. I had to know, what’s the deal with Michael Jordan cards? Are they worth anything close to that?
So I started digging. First, I spent hours on Google, just trying to get a basic idea of what’s out there. I saw some stuff about a 1997-98 Upper Deck card being super valuable. It’s apparently got Jordan’s autograph and a piece of a game-worn jersey, and only 23 of them were made. That sounded pretty cool, so I kept that in mind.
Then, I searched for some prices on the internet. I saw that one of these 1997 Upper Deck cards, it’s labeled “GJ13S” or something, I don’t know. The number 7 one went for a few years ago. That’s some serious cash! I was getting excited, so I had to keep searching.
I found out that the most expensive Jordan card is that same 1997-98 Upper Deck thing I mentioned earlier. Some grading company called BGS gave one an 8 rating, and it sold for $2.7 million back in 2021. That’s nuts! I mean, it’s not 12 million, but it’s still a ton of money for a piece of cardboard.
Here’s What I Found Out:
- Most Expensive: The 1997-98 Upper Deck Michael Jordan Game Jerseys Autograph card. One sold for $2.7 million in 2021.
- Why So Expensive: Only 23 exist, it has his autograph, and a piece of his game-worn jersey.
- Another Big Sale: A different version of the 1997 Upper Deck card (GJ13S) went for some number I saw on the internet a few years ago.
It’s crazy to think about how much these cards can go for. I’m not sure if I’d ever spend that much on a collectible, but it’s definitely interesting to learn about. If you’re into this kind of stuff, whether you’re just curious or you’re hoping to make some money, it’s worth looking into. This whole experience made me realize how much I didn’t know about the world of sports card collecting.
