Among Michael Jordan’s accomplishments: 6-time NBA champion, 6-time MVP, 14-time All-Star and a Hall of Fame member.
A autographed Michael Jordan rookie card sold for $2.5 million in an auction that closed on Thursday.
The 1986-87 Fleer card sold through Joopiter — the auction platform founded by Grammy-winning artist and producer Pharrell Williams three years ago — shows Jordan soaring toward the rim with his right arm extended and tongue dangling. It was one of nine trading cards signed in a blue sharpie at his private golf course in Florida last year.
According to ESPN, the $2.5 million is the most paid for a Jordan rookie card — signed or unsigned — and the third-highest price in a public sale for any Jordan card. That record is $2.928 million.
