Rare Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant Jerseys Could Sell for $10 Million Each
Harris Rosner is a self-described collector of 'one of a kind' sports memorabilia. For the most part, this means he buys objects he says could be considered the first object from a sports star's career. 'The very first time that someone ever wore a jersey in a regular season game? That's only going to happen one time,' says Rosner, who founded the LA-based company VIP Tickets.
And so Rosner was understandably excited when he got wind of two basketball jerseys soon to sell at Sotheby's. In an online sale running from March 12-26, the auction house will offer Michael Jordan's signed 'preseason debut' Chicago Bulls jersey, which the star wore in the 1984-85 preseason. And in a separate online sale running from April 10-24, it has Kobe Bryant's 'rookie debut' Los Angeles Lakers jersey, which the late player wore during the 1996-97 season. Each jersey is estimated to sell in the region of $10 million.
