Any item that has been used by a legend of the National Basketball Association (NBA) always attracts attention when it is put up for auction, but when that element was used by a certain Michael Jordan, the prices of these soar through the roof.
A proof of that is what happened in the last hours, where the company Heritage Auctions offered a jersey used by Your Majesty in the 1982 season, when he was taking his first steps in basketball, in the University of North Carolina, with which he won the title of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Jordan’s jersey was finally auctioned and purchased for an exorbitant price: $ 1.38 million. In this way, the record of an item used by the G.O.A.T. which in October of last year was sold by $ 480k dollars, in that case, a shirt of Chicago Bulls in the 1986-87 season.

But it was not the only element that could be offered, because with the jersey of the ’23’ a photo of the point that he converted was attached, with five seconds remaining until the end of the game, in the victory of the Tar heels in view of Georgetown Hoyas, 63-62, on March 29, 1982, where he won the NCAA Player of the Year award.

“As the final price shows, this (Jordan) jersey has everything any serious collector could wish for.”, assured Chris Ivey, Heritage Sports Auction Director.
However, it is not the first time that a T-shirt has been auctioned that Your Majesty used in its university stage, since in 1999 it was auctioned by $ 63,500 dollars of the time, a record for this piece.

It should be noted that this Jordan jersey was obtained for the first time in 1983, when team managers for the Stanford Cardinal and the Tar Heels traded player jerseys, after a game that was played during the Stanford Invitational tournament at Maples Pavilion.
