A Michael Jordan jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for $14 million, auction house says
A game-worn, autographed Michael Jordan road jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for a record-breaking $14 million, according to Hunt Auctions. The red jersey, worn by Jordan in Game 2 of that series on June 5, 1998, is the highest price ever paid for a piece of basketball memorabilia. The buyer is identified as Miami real estate investor Ron Firman.
David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, described the sale as marking the importance of Jordan's importance within the sports memorabilia marketplace, elevating it to an elite asset class. The $14 million price surpasses the previous record of $24.12 million paid in 2024 for the Babe Ruth jersey from the 1932 World Series.
