Michael Jordan memorabilia

[jordanhigh69]

Hi all,
Just want to get some opinions on here. How much, potentially, would MJ's personal workout equipment that he had in his house basement and used all during his 6 titles be worth at auction.......If he signed some pieces too???? It's the exact equipment he is working out on that is in the book "Rare Air".

Re: Michael Jordan memorabilia

Nobody out there has any opinions on my post? It's funny......I received an IM from a member on here, offering to sell me an MJ jersey. When I cordially replied that I get all my items in my collection directly from MJ and Mrs. Jordan, I get the feeling from his subsequent reply that he just doesn't believe me.

I'd think the market for that type of stuff would be very small if it existed at all. That's my personal opinion, but I'm sure some will disagree.

Hey Steve,

I'm sure someone would be interested, but I think many collectors (including myself) are only interested in game related items.

I'm always looking for Dr. J. game shoes, but would have zero interest in Julius Erving's golf shoes, dress shoes, workout shoes, etc.

My guess would be (and it is just a guess) is that it would hold little to no premium over what any workout equiptment in the same condition would be worth. A small bump if its autographed I suppose, but its value really is in its use going forward.

Hi all,
Thank you to the people who offered opinions on here. It is his entire home gym(not his workout shoes, gloves, etc) that the Bulls bought for him to use at his house. Thanks for the input.

I also believe that it has practically no value over the value of the equipment. It is not an item that Jordan collector's would really care about....I'm not even sure the major auction houses would take it to auction

Re: Michael Jordan memorabilia

As somebody who would love to someday own something to memorialize the excitement that MJ brought to the world in the 80s and 90s, I tend to agree that his workout equipment isn't really that interesting.

It's what he did on the court to make a team and a sport great. I was able to acquire a ticket from the 1982 Final Four Championship Game a number of years ago but for me anyway, what I really want is something he wore on the NBA court.

Its what he did on the NBA court (not in the gym) that redefined the league, and which I don't think anyone else has or will come even close to duplicating.

Although a long time, diehard Laker fan, I understand your excitement about what Jordan did as a player, and what he brought to the NBA.

Although anything game used would be empty out my bank account, I've been in search of that really nice rookie signature of Jordan. I was lucky enough to recently pick this one up, which was signed around the first half of the season in 1984.

I'll always be a Laker fan. But it was exciting to wach Jordan play.

You mean I’m not the only one who’s financial means are a constraint? (Kidding)


Seriously, these forums can be financially intimidating but it is so neat to just look at the stuff. There are really some neat people on here too. I’m sure there are several of us who only are able to get the items we want to the extent we are lucky enough to come into them under reasonable circumstances. And, we can all choose to love everything about what we do have while we continue to dream of the items we covet.


For Tony, perhaps the dream item coveted is something that memorializes a Jordan encounter with the Lakers.


Regarding the MJ equipment, there probably is somebody who covets it. Maybe it’s a person who worked out with Michael at some point in their lives, or somebody with a special appreciation for the training regimen of the NBA athlete… for each of us, what we specifically covet may depend on how we relate to an athlete or a specific item’s history.

Just curious........How do you know this was signed in early 1984? It looks to me to be a later sig of his, due to the incomplete letters of the sig, especially his last name. JMHO Nice rook pic of Air MJ, though!

Scroll down and you'll find this item on this site. Also, the 1986 Michael Jordan Signed Rookie underneath it was mine.

Wow, some really neat stuff to look at there. Thanks for sharing. Personally, I've had a hard time ever having faith in autographs unless I obtain them myself or from a dealer who had a confirmed signing on a particular date. Its neat that for a guy like Jordan there is such a detail oriented history, but having it so easy for anybody with internet access to view would seem to only make fraud a greater risk.
