A Michael Jordan uniform from the 1992-93 Chicago Bulls season sold for $2.623 million, Heritage Auctions confirmed, per ESPN.
The jersey was worn by Jordan during 17 games that season, part of his first Bulls three-peat championship run.
It appeared on the cover of the October 18, 1993, issue of Sports Illustrated, making it highly recognizable.
Experts at MeiGray and Sports Investors Authentication verified this as the only Jordan uniform linked to any full season during the Bulls’ first three consecutive titles.
The sale includes the buyer’s premium, making it one of the most valuable NBA jerseys ever sold.
Despite this high price, Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals “Last Dance” jersey remains the most expensive, having fetched $10.091 million in September 2022.
That jersey set the record for the highest price paid for any sports memorabilia item at the time.
Collectors prize Jordan’s game-worn items due to his iconic status and influence on basketball and popular culture.
The 1992-93 season was Jordan’s final year before his first retirement, adding historical value to this uniform.
Heritage Auctions specializes in rare sports collectibles, drawing interest from worldwide bidders.
