A signed sports collectible card featuring Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant sold for $12.932 million on Saturday night, breaking the record for the most ever paid for a sports card.

The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs Jordan & Bryant card, numbered 1-of-1, surpassed the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card, which sold for $12.6 million in late August 2022. The Jordan/Bryant card was sold with Heritage Auctions; the buyer's identity was not revealed.

The Jordan/Bryant card is the second-most expensive sports collectible of all-time behind Babe Ruth's 1932 World Series "called shot" jersey, which sold for $24.12 million almost a year ago to the day.

Chris Ivy, Heritage's director of sports auctions, said he remembers when Upper Deck first released Exquisite, charging $500 for one five-card pack/box for the 2003-04 release. That was the set responsible for a $5.2 million LeBron James rookie card, which previously held the record for most expensive basketball card until Saturday.
