STUNNING SALE

The highest amount ever paid for a post-war trading card is believed to have just reached a new high as Goldin Auctions recently sold a 2003-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection All-NBA Access LeBron James/Michael Jordan Dual Patches 1/1 BGS NM-MT+ 8.5 for $900,000 in a private transaction.

“There have only been two trading cards in the history of mankind that have ever sold for more than $900,000,” Ken Goldin, Founder and CEO of Goldin Auctions, told Beckett.com. “One is a ’52 Topps Mantle in [a grade of] 8.5 or higher. The other is a T206 Wagner in 2 or higher.”

According to Goldin, the consignor of the Logoman Exquisite Collection card is a collector who has acquired several one-of-a-kind cards over the years, and wishes to remain anonymous. He said the buyer also asked to remain anonymous for now, but may reveal himself in the future.

Goldin said the consignor asked him to send the card to Beckett Grading Services for authentication and grading.
