Unique Kobe Bryant-Michael Jordan card set to break price record on Mamba's birthday
Briefly

A 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs card pairing Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan is up for bid at Heritage Auctions. The one-of-one card reached $7.015 million including the 22% buyer's premium with more than a day remaining, surpassing the previous basketball-card record of $5.9 million for a Stephen Curry Logoman Autograph. Heritage projected a likely final price around $8 million while acknowledging $10 million or more is possible. The all-sports-card record stands at $12.6 million for a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. The Dual Logoman series includes images, signatures and NBA game-worn logo patches, and this is the only card pairing Bryant and Jordan.
As of early Friday afternoon, bidding for the one-of-one card had reached $7.015 million, including the 22% buyer's premium added to the successful bid. That already shatters the current record price garnered by a basketball card - the $5.9 million paid for the 2009-10 Panini National Treasures Stephen Curry Logoman Autograph card in a 2021 private estate sale. With more than a day still remaining for bids, it's still tough to tell what the new record might end up being.
"It's the only one that has Kobe and Jordan on it, and it has both their Logoman logos, and it's signed by both," Ivy said, "and so kind of all those factors combined together to make this the top card for modern card collectors. And we're seeing that in the price that it's generating right now."
