A basketball card featuring NBA legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant achieved a record-breaking price of $12.932 million at an auction held by Heritage Auctions in Texas, becoming the most expensive sports card ever sold. The card, known as the 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs, surpassed expectations during the Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction, which took place on Saturday, with final bids significantly exceeding a pre-auction estimate of $6 million, according to BBC, TRT, and AA.

The card features portraits, autographs, and NBA jersey logo patches from both players, holding special significance as it is the only dual Logoman card featuring Jordan and Bryant, with Jordan's patch being a unique gold variant. This item has been highly desired by collectors, demonstrating its immense value in the sports memorabilia market, according to TRT and AA.

Not only did this sale exceed the previous high for an NBA card set at $5.2 million, but it also narrowly topped the earlier sports card auction record of $12.6 million for a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card, which was sold in 2022. The Jordan-Bryant collectible is now recognized as the second-highest priced sports memorabilia item ever, following Babe Ruth's 1932 World Series jersey that sold for $24.12 million in 2024, as noted by BBC, TRT, and AA.
