Rare Michael Jordan Memorabilia Stolen in Chicago Store Burglary

A high-value Michael Jordan card was stolen from a Chicago-based memorabilia shop on Memorial Day.

The Chicago Police Department reported that a man removed metal bars from Elite Sports Cards and Comics around 3:44 a.m. on May 31 and broke into the store through the back window, opening a pack of cards that included a 1986 Jordan rookie card, according to TMZ Sports.

Ronnie Holloway, the owner of the store, said the stolen card was worth $25,000 alone. Holloway released the store’s surveillance video showing the suspect stealing the Jordan card and other cards featuring Babe Ruth, Larry Bird, Jackie Robinson and Walter Payton and then fleeing the store by foot.
