Meanwhile across other sports stuff markets, the news that the Mantle card has eclipsed even the kill-my-own-mother-to-get-a T-206 Honus Wagner card which was then considered the most expensive card asset (at some $7.2 million) when it sold just a few weeks ago on August 5, has punters dancing in the aisles. Yeo says Mr Jordan’s team the The Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz (although I find it hard to believe a team is called The Jazz, that’s just dumb) 4-2 in the Finals, but the Jazz took Game 1 with a 88-85 win. And with the Legend of The Air’s gorgeous No.23 emblazoned like a shooting star across its blood red sky – this jumper or singlet or jersey – was actually sticking to Jordan’s sweat reamed flesh during Game One of his Sixth and Final Championship series. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if NBA fan and legend magnet PM Anthony Albanese swaps it for Tasmania – it’s not like we’re using it anymore. The sale of the kids collectable card which critics of the booming sports memorabilia market have criticised as absolutely, 100%, no BS, probably more useless than an NFT, kill me now dear God, just kill me, sets a new high watermark for the sector which everyone at Sporthead agrees can only possibly go up now and will never die.Īttention now turns to the upcoming market-moving sale of some basketballer’s Chicago Bulls jumper (or is it a singlet?) which this chap Michael Jordan’s sweated through during an NBA Finals game – I mean, his team won like seven of those and there’s seven finals games… so without doing too much math, it’s not like there’s only one of them out there – so…Īnyway the “iconic” shirt is up for grabs next month and speccy is rife it could rival Mantle’s place on the sports collectable mantle.Īt this stage analysts believe the shirt will fetch somewhere between £3 million and £5m when Sotheby’s flogs it on September 14, although Sporthead’s most basketball-aware expert Bevis Yeo says it could go for as much as one billion dollars. The card featuring some baseballer, came out in 1952 was wax-wrapped and went for “either a penny or a nickel,” according to Christopher Ivy, the soon-to-retire-to-the-Bahamas sports director at Heritage Auctions. The-one-for-the-Mantlepiece-Mantle easily smashed sports memorabilia records at auction, securing $12.6 million late last night US time. Overnight markets have been plunged into excitement, with clear signs of strong tailwinds and resurgent animal spirits as as the price for Mint Condition Mickey Mantle Baseball Cards – long considered a SportHead bellwether asset, broke new records on the open market.
