Michael Jordan’s autograph is crazy valuable — even with thousands of signatures floating around — but imagine owning the very 1st ball MJ EVER SIGNED!!
Well, if ya got the dough, you can buy what’s (likely) Jordan’s first autograph … signed when Michael was a 13-year-old youth baseball player.
Here’s the deal … in 1976, Jordan played on Parkers Food Stores (a local grocery store & team sponsor) Babe Ruth League youth baseball team in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Jordan, who wore #10 — along with his teammates — signed a ball to commemorate their 11-3 season … which ended in a championship.
The team’s manager, Dick Neher — who was a co-worker of MJ’s dad, James Jordan — held on to the ball for over 25 years before selling it in 2002.
Now, Goldin Auctions has acquired the 1-of-a-kind piece … where it’s available for auction online.
FYI — GA recently sold a similar Derek Jeter piece (Jeetz signed when he was only 8) for $36k.
So, what’s Jordan’s sig gonna sell for? Well, Jeter’s a LEGEND — but he’s not MJ — so Goldin expects the ball to go for around $50k.
Awesome, right?!
