Thanks to the immense popularity of ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary series about the Chicago Bulls’ 1997-98 season, Michael Jordan Fleer rookie sticker card just sold for almost $25K and it didn’t even make the top 10 when it comes to the most expensive Jordan trading cards ever sold.
That’s right, a sticker featuring a picture of Michael Jordan in his rookie year sold for $24,601 Tuesday night.

I don’t even want to think about whether or not I owned this sticker as a kid because if I did, well… this would probably be me right now.
@darrenrovell I had this whole set stuck to my bedroom wall when I was 8. Smh
Thanks to The Last Dance there has been a bit of a run on Michael Jordan trading cards. Another Jordan Fleer rookie card (an actual card this time), went for a record $12,500 on Tuesday night as well. And it was only graded a “9” and not the much coveted gem mint “10” grade.
Tonight that record was broken again, as one sold for $12,500.
This was after a PSA Gem Mint 10 broke the $50,000 barrier on Sunday.https://t.co/tsgeJi6H9z

Pretty good return since, according to The Action Network, one could have bought the card for less than $2,000 prior to 2013.
In February, sales of PSA 9 Jordan rookies sold for an average of $7,460 on eBay. In March, the average sold price went up to $7,515, but at least two cards sold for more than $10,000 for the first time.
Fast forward to this month and the average price paid is $9,669. Four straight PSA 9s have been sold for more than $10,000 each, including a record for a PSA 9 of $11,285 on Monday.
On Sunday, Robert Edward Auctions broke another record, this time for a gem mint PSA 10 Michael Jordan 1986-87 Fleer rookie card, when it sold for an eye-popping $51,600.
That one actually managed to crack list of the top 10 most expensive Michael Jordan trading cards of all time.
According to OldSportsCards.com here are the rest of the top 10 cards…
