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.”
