Kobe-MJ dual Logoman card fetches $3.17 million at auction

A 2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection dual Logoman card of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, numbered 1-of-1 and graded a 6 by Professional Sports Authenticator, sold via Heritage Auctions for $3,172,000 on Friday, including buyer's premium. (All subsequent prices include buyer's premium.)

According to Card Ladder, it's the seventh-most expensive basketball card sale and the second- and third-most expensive Bryant and Jordan card sales, respectively.

This dual Logoman card, which is from the debut year of the dual Logoman, is not autographed. The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Bryant/Jordan dual Logoman, which sold for $12.932 million in August via Heritage Auctions -- the most expensive sports card of all time -- was signed by both Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers.

In the same Heritage auction in August, two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards topped $850,000: A version graded an 8 by PSA sold for $1,555,550, and a PSA 1.5 but featuring a high-grade Mantle autograph sold for $884,500.

A master set of 1962 Topps Baseball, with 691 cards graded by PSA -- including 688 receiving grades of 8 or higher -- sold for $512,400, and a signed 1948 Swell Sports Thrills Jackie Robinson card pulled in $207,400.

Heritage Auctions crossed $2 billion in sales in 2025 before Friday night's auction, a record year for the auction house following $1.867 billion in sales in 2024. In August 2024, Heritage brokered the record $24 million Babe Ruth "called shot" jersey sale, the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever.

On Saturday, a slew of other six-figure items are set to close:

• A 1986-87 Larry Bird Boston Celtics jersey, photo-matched to seven playoff games, including four Eastern Conference finals games; as of publication, the Bird jersey sits at $237,900, with the record paid for a Bird jersey being $360,000.

• A Shohei Ohtani bat from his record-setting 50/50 2024 season, photo-matched to three home runs, sits at $213,500.

• A Mickey Mantle jersey, photo-matched to the 1960 and 1961 World Series, which sold for $360,000 at Heritage in February 2020, sits at $378,200.
