Love of the Game Opening Day, 2013 Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/7/2013
Elegantly framed on a black background, the famous Chicago Bulls #23 jersey has been emblazoned with the most highly sought-after signature of any modern player: that of Michael Jordan. Jordan's exploits with the Bulls are legendary; he's often called the greatest basketball player of all time and at least belongs in the discussion among those fans that won't give him that title outright.
This jersey is in incredible condition, signed and framed shortly thereafter, with no signs of use whatsoever. The red mesh of the jersey contrasts brilliantly with the black background of the grame, which is in reasonable condition with some mild chipping. The paper on the reverse of the frame has been peeled away in one corner - by us - so that we could remove the 1986 Fleer Jordan card that was once a part of this display. The card had fallen from its spot on the upper left side of the frame, and we felt it best to remove it altogether and offer it as a separate item (you can find it in the Featured Items section of this auction).
A Michael Jordan signature is an important and valuable collectible, even more desirable on a jersey. This is a stellar example. COA from Upper Deck Authenticated.
