Michael Jordan’s jersey from Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals is scheduled to go to auction, with outlets reporting that it could set a new record for a game-worn jersey sale. Both reports say the item is expected to draw significant interest as the market for NBA game-used memorabilia continues to expand.
The Athletic and Newsweek describe the jersey as among the most notable pieces of sports collectibles, emphasizing its potential to achieve a record-setting price when it is offered later this fall. While neither outlet provides detailed verification of the jersey’s condition, provenance specifics beyond being tied to that particular Finals game, or the exact auction house and starting bid, they align on the broad point that demand and pricing power in memorabilia markets have risen.
Overall, the outlets share the same core news: the jersey is entering the auction market and is widely viewed as a candidate for a historic sale.
