At 58, Michael Jordan is still achieving new heights.
Goldin Auctions, out of its new Private Sales Division, completed the single-most expensive Jordan item sale of all-time when a 1997-98 Upper Deck "Game Jersey" game-worn patch card with an on-card autograph sold for $2.7 million over the weekend. That broke the all-time Goldin Auctions record of $2.1 million -- held by the same kind, but differently numbered, card.
The $2.7 million Jordan card is graded an 8 Near Mint-Mint from Beckett Grading Services (BGS), while Jordan's autograph received an 8 grade, and it's numbered 6/23. The identities of the seller and buyer were confirmed privately, on the condition of anonymity, to ESPN.
