  • Michael Jordan's iconic jersey from Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals is up for auction.
  • The jersey, featuring his famous No. 23, is expected to fetch a high price, with estimates ranging up to $100 million.
  • This follows the sale of another Jordan jersey from the same finals for over $10 million in 2022.

A legendary piece of basketball memorabilia is hitting the auction block: Michael Jordan's iconic jersey from Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals. The jersey, bearing his famous number 23, is being offered by Joopiter, an online auction house.

This particular game saw the Chicago Bulls decisively defeat the Utah Jazz with a record-breaking 54-point margin, 96-54. Jordan himself contributed 24 points in that historic match. Auctioneers at Joopiter estimate the jersey could command up to $15 million, though some predictions suggest the final sale price could soar as high as $100 million.

The potential record-breaking sale follows previous high-profile auctions of Jordan's memorabilia. In 2022, a jersey from Game 1 of the same 1998 finals sold for $10.1 million. The current record for a sports collectible belongs to a Babe Ruth jersey, which sold for $24.12 million in 2024, a benchmark this Jordan jersey could potentially surpass significantly.
