Michael Jordan 1/1 Logoman card expected to set records in Goldin auction
More than 20 years ago, Upper Deck released its iconic 2003 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection, one of the most significant NBA card sets in hobby history.
The gem of the collection was a 1-of-1 Michael Jordan Logoman auto patch card.
For years, that card never surfaced and had never come up for public sale.
Now it is.
Jordan’s 2003 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection 1/1 Logoman card is coming up for bid in the Goldin 100 auction that opens at Goldin Co. on April 19. The card, which has an opening bid of $250,000, is expected to be one of the highest-selling NBA cards of all-time.

The card features Jordan in his Chicago Bulls uniform and a game-worn patch of the NBA logo from his uniform and his autograph in blue ink. The patch and image is from the height of Jordan’s NBA career, when he led the Bulls to six NBA championships.
The card is Jordan's very first signed Logoman patch card in a Bulls uniform. The previous year's Upper Deck release featured a trio of Jordan Logoman patch collectibles within the NBA Logo Mania Patch Autographs insert set, but those cards all featured Jordan in a Washington Wizards uniform. Jordan played for the Wizards when he retired following the 2002-03 season.
The whereabouts of the card were unknown for nearly 20 years until it was submitted to PSA in 2022.
“Michael Jordan remains one of the most iconic and recognizable athletes of all time,” said Ken Goldin, Founder and CEO of Goldin. “Jordan's greatness on the court has translated into making his cards some of the most desired collectibles in existence and this one-of-one Logoman may stand above the rest.”
The Goldin 100 auction features rare collectibles valued at $100,000 and above. Part one of the Goldin 100 opens on April 19 and will include 50 of the rarest trading cards, comic books and memorabilia across sports, film and pop culture.
