Death, taxes, and Michael Jordan. If there is one thing that you can count on in the collecting world, it is likely associated with Michael Jordan. Few things drive the hobby like Michael Jordan cards, autographs and memorabilia. An upcoming lot from Goldin Auctions includes multiple unique items from Michael Jordan, including his UNC diploma, a game used and signed Team USA Basketball uniform, and multiple recruiting letters. Bidding runs through February 7th and high prices are expected.
