Jordan UNC Application, 1992 Dream Team Gold Medal, 1-of-1 Kobe “Logoman,” NASA Moon Boots Take Center Stage at National Sports Collectors Convention
Goldin, a leading collectibles marketplace, will exclusively display some of the rarest and most sought-after cards and collectibles at the 44th annual National Sports Collectors Convention, the largest and most prestigious sports collectibles show in the world. The company will highlight several items from its prestigious Goldin 100 collection, including Michael Jordan’s 1982 UNC application, a 1992 Olympic Dream Team Gold Medal and a 1-of-1 signed Kobe Bryant “Logoman” patch card at the convention this year.
“The National is a celebration of passion, history, and the shared love for The Hobby,” said Ken Goldin, Founder and CEO of Goldin. “To be a part of this event is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant community, sharing stories of the iconic sports moments that have shaped our lives through generations.”
Goldin Items Presented at the National Sports Collectors Convention (Booth #5018):
- Michael Jordan’s signed UNC Application Form and Acceptance Letter from 1981: Goldin has coined this as “one of the absolute finest and most historically significant” items that has crossed their desk in the past decade.
- 1992 Olympic “Dream Team” Gold Medal presented to Clyde Drexler: Drexler played on the United States Men’s Basketball Team, famously known as the “Dream Team,” which is widely regarded as the greatest basketball team ever assembled.
- 1-of-1 Kobe Bryant Logoman card from the 2003-04 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection: This card is from the same set as the most expensive Michael Jordan card ever, which recently sold for $2.928 million through Goldin.
- NASA “Moon Boots”: The boots are made of a metallic foil-like material, featuring zippers, criss-cross laces, and rubber soles, and inscribed with ‘Shepard’ on the inside, suggesting they could have been worn by Alan Shepard, one of the first Americans to set foot on the moon.
- 1979 J-Slot (V2) Rocket-Firing Prototype Boba Fett: This Star Wars item is the single most important action figure in the hobby.
- 2017 Patrick Mahomes autographed rookie card: A debut-year collectible that is one of the most iconic NFL rookie cards ever produced by Panini.
- Michael Jordan’s alternative Chicago Bulls jersey worn in 1996-97: This was a 69-win season for the Bulls and their 5th NBA Championship. Jordan’s iconic moments that season included an NBA Finals Game 1 buzzer-beater and the iconic Game 5 “Flu Game.” The jersey has been photo matched to 12 games and 22 different trading cards.
- Ric Flair Custom Robe: Worn by the wrestling legend during his tenure in the NWA.
- 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Lebron James card: This is possibly the most important modern sports card in existence.
- 1997-98 Skybox Metal Universe Michael Jordan Championship Precious Metal Gems (PMG): This card features Jordan flying high over the Chicago skyline and is limited to 50 copies.
- 1993 SP Derek Jeter card graded PSA 10: The most appealing rookie card of all-time Yankee favorite.
- Patrick Mahomes signed, game-used jersey photo-matched to Oct 7th, 2018: Worn by Mahomes in his sixth career game during his second professional season, where he was ultimately named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player.
- 1958 Editora Aquarela LTDA Black Number #10 Pele Rookie Card: In the 1958 World Cup Final, 17-year-old Pele dominated in the second half by notching two goals and becoming the youngest to participate, score, and win a World Cup Final. Only three cards have received this grade of NM-MT with none higher.
- Nike Moon Shoes: These are one of the first-ever trainers created by Nike in 1972. There were only 12 first editions of the shoes and they were made to provide more traction and comfort than other shoes on the market at the time.
- 1925 Exhibits Lou Gehrig Rookie card: This is perhaps the most noteworthy of all Exhibit cards and one that would be a worthy addition to anyone’s collection.
