Most Valuable Michael Jordan Cards in 2026: Rookies, Autos & Inserts

This is one of the rarest Michael Jordan cards, as Upper Deck only ever released 23 of them. As well as its rarity, there are two key factors that add to its value. One is that the card incorporates fabric from the jersey Jordan himself wore in the 1997 All-Star Game. The other is the fact that the player himself signed it. One copy of this particular card fetched a cool $2 million back in 2021. To put things into perspective, the most valuable Fortnite card, the 2019 Panini Fortnite Black Knight “Crystal Shard” #252 (PSA 10), fetched $100,000 in August 2026.

There’s always value in a sports star’s rookie card, the first card to showcase them since they started playing at the highest level in their sport. Michael Jordan’s rookie card is no exception. In August 2025, someone purchased a copy of it for the staggering sum of $2.5 million. It was in excellent condition and had a signature from Jordan itself, which only added to its appeal.

Thought the $2.5 million figure was big? This one had an even bigger selling price. Upper Deck’s 2003-4 Ultimate Collection Michael Jordan Logoman card, featuring the player’s autograph, sold for almost $3 million in 2024. The exact price someone paid for this one card was $2.928 million.

This is the most expensive Michael Jordan card ever. While it features another huge name in the world of basketball, Kobe Bryant, it still counts as an MJ card. Someone paid the huge sum of $12,932,000 for it in August 2025, making it the most valuable NBA card ever. What makes it so valuable is that there’s only one copy of it, and it has signatures from both Jordan and Bryant.
