A Michael Jordan autograph is still very popular and valuable, years after his retirement, and I personally would consider a signed Michael Jordan jersey to be my main autograph collecting goal.
Due to the large demand, a Michael Jordan autograph carries a premium price, whether through dealers or on .
Jordan is known to be a tough signer in-person, and makes appearances at golf tournaments, his summer basketball camp (where he is known to sign 1 item per camp attendee), and charity events, namely the celebrity golf tournament every summer in Lake Tahoe, NV.
As you can see below, like any superstar, the demand far outweighs Jordan's ability to satisfy everyone.
Michael Jordan Signing Autographs In-Person
Getting Michael Jordan Shoes Autographed In-Person Clip
Signed Michael Jordan sneakers with the famous "Jumpman" Michael Jordan logo along with signed jerseys and photographs are among some of the most popular pro sports memorabilia items for collectors today.
If you are looking to buy a signed Jordan item, buyer beware! He is, and has been for years, one of the top targets for forgers and
authenticity is a concern.
Like other top names in sports, Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey Jr., and Kobe Bryant, to name a few - Michael Jordan signs exclusively through Upper Deck.
I think it's wise to pay the extra dollars for an Upper Deck Authenticated item - that is the best you can get in terms of authenticity besides getting the item signed yourself.
That being said, there is a secret to spot an authentic Jordan signature. When he writes "M" it's actually the numbers "2" and "3" sideways. Look at the above autograph again - do you see it?
Signed Autographed Michael Jordan Shoes
Original and Retro Air Jordan shoes are hot sport collectibles by themselves, autographed makes them that much better! I have seen authentic autographed game-used Air Jordan's go for over $10,000 at sports memorabilia auctions and stores.

My Favorite Autographed Michael Jordan Pictures
I think this picture is awesome! Upper Deck limited these to 50 (don't ask me why). It captures the essence of Michael Jordan and his persona brilliantly.
It's weird, but there aren't many items with Jordan throwing down a two-handed dunk out there.
The shot that started it all...
Classic. Timeless. Dominique Wilkins can only watch... I remember watching this live on TV when I was 13 years old in complete amazement.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
"I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results."
"I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder next time."
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."
