ESPN Segment on Jordan Items in Goldin Auctions

Re: ESPN Segment on Jordan Items in Goldin Auctions

I will offer the following as a general observation. It can be embarrassing for a player and/or his family when a personal item makes its way to the secondary market and becomes publicly available. As such, it is not uncommon for a player or his family to make false claims about said item in an attempt to save face. Anyone who has handled Championship or Hall of Fame rings, for example, is likely well aware of this phenomenon.

At the same time Deloris is saying this stuff, I am in discussions with Jordan's agent and attorney who wishes to get the items back. I have this in writing and emails. He also wrote me an email about my items being original. Why would he want them back if not original letters?

This is very frustrating for me. I think the ESPN article is a fair portrayal of the situation.

Hey Ken!

Did anything come of the discussions with Jordan's agent? Or is the plan to let the items run and they can bid like everyone else? Congrats on another stellar auction!

Peace,

John

We are still in discussions. Prefer not to comment in that stage, I am looking to get a public apology and a retraction from Michael's mother first and foremost.

I must say Ken, there are two things in life (other than my family which is first) that I love more than anything else, baseball (and the memorabilia associated with it) and business.

I look forward to meeting you one day, maybe I can buy you a drink or lunch at the next National Conference.
