Jordan-Kobe Dual Logoman Tops $12.9M — The All-Time Most Expensive Sports Cards, Ranked

In August 2025, a 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant Dual Logoman card sold for $12.932 million, becoming the most expensive sports card ever sold. The card features game-worn Logoman patches from both players, with Jordan's patch sourced from the 1996-97 season. That same month, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle graded SGC 9.5 sold for $12.6 million, and a 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner graded SGC 2 fetched $7.25 million — three of the hobby's biggest sales landing in a single month.

Three of the ten most expensive sports cards ever sold all changed hands in August 2025, signaling that the ultra-high-end market is as active as it's ever been. For collectors, the Jordan-Kobe Dual Logoman sale reshapes the ceiling for modern basketball cards — Exquisite Collection patch autos and Logoman cards from that era now carry a new reference point. The Mantle SGC 9.5 result reinforces that pre-war and vintage graded at the top of the pop report command generational prices; even lower-graded vintage like the SGC 2 Wagner at $7.25M shows that scarcity and cultural weight override condition at the extreme end. If you hold any Exquisite-era Jordan or Kobe patch cards, dual autos, or high-grade vintage, the comp landscape just moved significantly in your favor.
