Ever thought sports cards could cost more than a house? Well, Michael Jordan just proved they can! His Fleer card, secretly signed last year, sold for a jaw-dropping $1.44 million! Yes, you read that right – over a million and a half bucks for a piece of paper signed by the basketball legend. This is the third highest price ever paid for a Jordan card, and the buyer’s identity remains a mystery.
For those who don’t know, Jordan usually doesn’t sign Fleer cards because he has a contract with Upper Deck, but this signature was authenticated by PSA, meaning it’s legit. The previous record holder is his Upper Deck Ultimate Collection card, which sold for $2.1 million in 2021.
But wait, it’s not just about the card! Michael Jordan is also famous for his lavish lifestyle, including the premium tequila brand Cincoro, into which he invested about 10 million euros. He drinks nothing but his own tequila, and the bottle of the priciest version costs a whopping $1,000!
This card sale and Jordan’s luxury life just prove how the basketball legend still rules, not just on the court but also in the world of collectibles and business.
Is this madness or a smart investment? Who knows! But one thing’s for sure – the world of sports memorabilia has never been this insanely expensive. If you have a spare million and a half lying around, maybe it’s time to consider buying one of these cards. Or just tell us in the comments what you think about these prices – is it a scam or art?
Either way, Michael Jordan still dominates, now in the collectible card market and luxury drinks. Play smart, or just laugh while watching others throw millions at paper!
