The Hobby’s Biggest Night: Jordan–Kobe Logoman Breaks Record at $12.9M Live on Air

In part five of the Sports Cards Live stream from Saturday, August 23, 2025, history is made as the 2007 Exquisite Jordan–Kobe Dual Logoman Autograph 1/1 sells for $12.932 million, setting a new record for the most expensive publicly sold sports card of all time. Jeremy, Brent Weyer, and Chris McGill share live reactions with over 300 viewers as the auction closes, reflecting on what this moment means for the hobby. The panel dives deep into the implications: are PSA 10 vintage grails trustworthy, or are they overgraded time bombs? Does the true value of modern masterpieces come from auto quality, patch authenticity, and game use rather than technical grades? And how should collectors view concepts like “artificial rarity” versus organic scarcity? They also explore the ripple effects: how Kobe’s legacy — heightened by his tragic passing — shaped demand, whether heritage auction fees influence seller behavior, and what this watershed moment could mean for the next wave of cards to hit the market. Highlights include: Live coverage of the record-breaking $12.9M Jordan–Kobe Logoman sale Grading skepticism and the power of PSA’s brand vs. the card itself Why patch and autograph quality may matter more than grades Kobe’s passing and its impact on his long-term hobby standing Pop reports vs. lived scarcity in today’s market What record-setting sales might bring out of collections next This final segment captures the energy, controversy, and history of a night when the hobby’s all-time record was shattered live on Sports Cards Live.
