Mueller and Sloan agreed nostalgia also could be a big factor. Mueller called it a perfect storm: Jordan collectors have a ravenous reputation, and the ’97-98 PMGs have their own cult following.

The Jordan card beat the record for modern cards (1980 to present), which had been $312,000 for a 2003 Ultimate Collection “Ultimate Logos” LeBron James card, minted as a grade 9 by PSA.
