The historic jersey worn during Team USA's semifinal game against Lithuania in the 1992 Olympics goes under the hammer.
Michael Jordan's iconic No. 9 jersey from the 1992 Olympic "Dream Team" has fetched an astounding $3,030,000 million USD at the recent Goldin Auctions.
This game-used jersey holds significant historical value as it is photo-matched and inscribed, representing the semifinal round against Lithuania on August 6, 1992. During that game, MJ displayed his unparalleled skills, scoring 21 points, providing four assists, and grabbing three rebounds. The Champion jersey, sized at 46, bears Jordan's signature in black marker on the upper left chest area.
The auction lot is part of the esteemed "Dream Team Collection" curated by Karl Malone, a fellow member of the legendary 1992 Olympic team. This collection includes game-used jerseys and shoes worn by renowned basketball icons such as Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, and Malone himself. Ken Goldin, sharing his excitement, expressed, "Working with Karl Malone and presenting this extraordinary Dream Team Collection for auction has been a significant highlight of my collectibles career. The added thrill of knowing that Netflix viewers would witness the behind-the-scenes of the deal made it an even more exhilarating experience for our auction company and the wider Goldin community."
