“Legends of Sport” is a Sotheby’s annual collection of sports memorabilia auctions comprised of coveted rarities from basketball, football, soccer, and beyond. For a limited time, over 80 iconic pieces are on view at Sotheby’s New York including a Michael Jordan signed game-worn rookie jersey from 1984 (the only game worn photomatched rookie jersey from Jordan to publicly surface):
Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, sports fans & pop culture enthusiasts alike have the chance to see millions of dollars’ worth of unbelievable collectibles under one roof… with auctions already live for these lots & many more online!
In addition to the exhibition’s “Dawn of an Era” for Michael Jordan are the sections: “Origins of the Mamba” (above) for Kobe Bryant’s rookie debut jersey (above), “NBA Auctions” for various basketball items, “Timeless Titans” for 6 graded legendary sports cards, “Court Classics” (below) featuring 33 pairs of classic sneakers, and “Important Sports Memorabilia” for everything else… like a 1982 Wayne Gretzky signed hockey stick, Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes game-used footballs, and 2018 Roger Federer signed tennis gear!
From a Steph Curry & Klay Thompson signed 2016 NBA All-Star Game basketball to a beautiful LeBron James Nike x Hasbro Monopoly Set, every item has a prominent place in sports history. And although most lots were labeled with an estimated value, some did not such as the 6 “Timeless Titans” graded cards on display:
These were truly grail-worthy! We’re talking about a Michael Jordan signed game-worn jersey patch card, a 1916 Babe Ruth rookie card, an Alexander Ovechkin signed rookie patch, and even a PSA 10 triple auto of Kobe/LeBron/Jordan! But hurry in because this exhibition will only be around until March 25, 2025.
