What Makes These Jerseys So Valuable?

Did you know?
Michael Jordan holds the top two spots on this list, with his 1998 “Last Dance” jersey selling for over $10 million and his 1984 rookie jersey fetching $4.2 million.
Jordan’s Impact on Jersey Sales
Though not the most expensive, Jordan’s 1992-1993 season jersey is notable for its historic significance. Worn in 17 games, it coincides with Jordan’s record-tying seven-game consecutive scoring title run and led the Chicago Bulls to their first three-peat.
This same jersey also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in October 1993, just before Jordan’s first retirement.
