DALLAS, TX.- The only copy that ever will exist of an extraordinary card featuring NBA uniform logos and signatures from two of the greatest players of all time smashed the record for any sports card at auction in Heritage's Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction.
Eighty-two bids poured in for the 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant #DL-KM Signed PSA EX-MT 6 - #'d 1/1, helping it soar to an extraordinary price of $12,932,000.
"I think that this incredible world record price reflects two things," says Chris Ivy, Heritage's Director of Sports Auctions. "First, this is the finest modern basketball card in the world, and second, Heritage Auctions provides our clients with the best platform to generate world record results for your rare collectibles."
The world record result shot past the previous record for the most ever paid for a sports card at auction, surpassing the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle No. 311 SGC Mint+ 9.5 that Heritage Auctions sold for $12,600,000 in 2022.
