Star card
20211kloc-0/1A limited number of 23 Jordan jerseys signature cards (below) were sold through the private purchasing department of Goldin Auctions, a well-known star card auction house, for 2.7 million US dollars, breaking the record of Jordan star cards and becoming the most expensive Jordan star card at present. The full name of this star card is 1997-98 Michael Jordan car, number 6/23, Beckett score 8/ signature 8. Why does a star card that is not a rookie card become the most expensive star card for Michael Jordan? There are many factors, and these factors also prove that the value of a star card can never be determined by the publisher's will and hype alone.
Now collectors generally know that this card was issued in 1998, which was the last year when the core lineup of the Bull Dynasty played together. Jordan also announced his retirement after winning his last NBA championship this year.
At the same time, in the field of star cards, Upper Deck is planning to release the annual series II NBA products. This is a highly anticipated product for two reasons: firstly, in the 1 series card package previously released by Upper Deck, there is a certain opportunity to remove the game jersey card (1:2500 ratio), which is the pioneering work of Upper Deck in the field of basketball cards and the first time in the history of star cards; Secondly, Jordan did not appear in the 1 series, so it is generally believed that he will appear in the 2 series-Upper Deck finally lived up to expectations, and the 2 series official will include Jordan's pro-wearing jersey card. At the same time, the match jerseys cards of Iverson, Penny Hardaway, charles barkley and other superstars will also be sold in the same series.
However, in the initial promotion of Series 2, it was never mentioned that any player's card had an extra signed version. It was not until a few months later that Upper Deck announced that Jordan's jersey cards would be signed and limited to 23 (consistent with Jordan's jersey number). Neither the packaging box nor the card package of this product mentioned the existence of the signature version-it was only in the publicity after the product was released that people learned this-and the legendary road of the most expensive Jordan star card was opened.
