A collectible card featuring Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant sold at auction for $12.932 million, ESPN reported.
The rare card is from the 2007–08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection and includes NBA logos cut from the game-worn jerseys of both players, along with their autographs.
The previous record was held by a Mickey Mantle baseball card, which sold for $12.6 million in 2022. The Jordan–Bryant card is now the second-most expensive sports collectible ever sold, after Babe Ruth’s 1932 World Series jersey, which fetched $24.12 million.
Kobe Bryant, a five-time NBA champion with the Lakers, died in a 2020 helicopter crash at age 41. Michael Jordan, now 62, won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls.
