Well, that didn't take long.
Less than four months after a PSA 9 of Michael Jordan's 1984-85 Star #101 card sold for $925,000, the record has been topped.
One of the two other PSA 9s sold for more than $1 million, according to the man who bought it.
In an anonymous Facebook group post to Dinged Corners, the man, who was confirmed to cllct to be the new owner by seller David Dzendzel wrote:
"My entire childhood is a string of 'where were you when Michael Jordan did' moments," he wrote. "How fortunate to be 9 years old in the summer of 1984, waiting for MJ to come home and do his thing right before my very eyes for the next 12 years. Never in my wildest dreams did I think, 40 years later, I'd be able to collect a mint copy of a 101, to me, his undisputed rookie card."
Dzendzel — who owned two of the three #101 cards in PSA 9 grades before selling one — told cllct he agreed to let the buyer, who grew up in Illinois and was a Bulls fan since 1983, do all the talking.
The buyer said "it was a seven-figure deal," and that the transfer from the PSA vault was "imminent," but wanted to keep the rest private.
"I was reluctant to even make this public because I prefer a lower profile, but in the end, this card and a record-setting deal like this is too important to our entire community not to share," the post said.
The 1984-85 Star card has had a checkered past, as was documented by cllct when it reported the previous record sale, but it is now on fire.
In the past two weeks, we've now seen records for the Star Jordan in PSA 6, 7, 8 and 9. There are none graded 10.
The record for a PSA 10 Jordan is $840,000, which was sold at PWCC in July 2021.
