Michael Jordan has set a new record, with his signed 2003/04 NBA trading card being auctioned off at an eye-catching $2,928,000 as revealed by Goldin Auctions. This is a record for any one of the NBA legend’s trading cards, with the bid confirmed by the company recently.
The buyer has not been revealed by Goldin, but the final value of the bid was $2.4 million. The auctioning house adds a 22% buyer premium, which bumped the total price up close to $3 million.

A total of 38 bids were made for the signed trading card, which exceeded the 10pm deadline. The winning bid was made around 11:30pm, beating out the rest to set a new record.
The card holds a score of 10 by the Professional Sports Authenticators, meaning it is almost a perfect piece of memorabilia.
While the card might have set a new record for Michael Jordan’s own series, it is a fraction of the all-time. That record belongs to Mickey Mantle, whose 1952 Topps card was sold for $12.6 million in August 2022 by Heritage Auctions.
