The hobby might be staring down its next crown jewel. A 2007 Upper Deck Exquisite Dual Logoman Autograph featuring both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan — and stamped one-of-one — has already crossed the $5.2 million threshold at Heritage Auctions, according to an announcement made Thursday, August 14 on Ludex’s Instagram.
That puts the card ahead of the $5.2 million LeBron James 2003–04 Exquisite RPA /23, which set headlines in April 2021. With nine days still left before the gavel falls, this dual-signed masterpiece is on pace to eclipse the $5.9 million price tag that once belonged to the 2009–10 National Treasures Steph Curry Rookie Logoman (sold privately in July 2021).
Upper Deck’s Exquisite line has always been known for its craftsmanship, but this piece goes a step further. Two autographs, two logoman patches, and two of the most celebrated icons the NBA has ever seen — all on one card. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan need no introduction, and their combined star power makes this 1/1 feel more like a museum piece than a trading card.
As if rarity weren’t enough, the card comes signed by both legends, amplifying its place in the upper stratosphere of modern collecting.
Collectors and investors are left wondering if this auction could set a brand-new benchmark. Will it push past $6 million? Could it climb to $6.5 or even $7 million?
Regardless of the final hammer price, the sale is already a landmark moment for the hobby. It proves once again that the appetite for ultra-high-end basketball cards continues to skyrocket, while also reinforcing the lasting legacies of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan — not only as athletes, but as icons of the collectibles world.
