Jordan still tops money list for sports collectibles

NBA legend Michael Jordan tops the list with an average listing of $36,129 for his top 20 sold memorabilia items.

This should come as no surprise given Jordan’s cultural impact and highly recognisable brand during the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty of the 1990s.

Jordan’s highest-selling item is a trading card from the 1997-98 season. With a certificated quality grade of nine, the card fetched an astonishing $95K in February.

Chicago entered the 1997-98 season as the two-time defending champs. By season’s end, the Bulls’ had clinched their sixth – and third consecutive – NBA title in eight years.

The dominant shooting guard also enjoyed many personal honours that season including his 10th scoring title and fifth NBA MVP award.

He also passed Moses Malone for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list and Tom Boerwinkle to become the Bull’s all-time leading rebounder.
