Game-Worn Jordan, The Locker Room Collection, and Much More
Weiss Auctions’ May 28, 2026 Sports Cards and Memorabilia sale has concluded. The auction was anchored by “The Locker Room Collection,” a featured collection of firsthand game-worn material obtained directly from athletes and led by Michael Jordan’s game-worn Air Jordan VIII sneakers from Game 5 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals. The sale also included early baseball postcards, Yankees historical documents, Roberto Clemente signed cards, Kobe Bryant signed rookie material, boxing memorabilia, non-sports cards including Pokemon, and much more across baseball, basketball, boxing, and beyond.
Final prices realized and complete lot-by-lot results are available now at weiss.auction/auctions/1832891/lots.
The Locker Room Collection: Part I
Built by a longtime member of the media with direct locker room and clubhouse access from the 1970s through the present day, The Locker Room Collection represents something increasingly rare in today’s hobby: material obtained firsthand, directly from the athletes themselves, and preserved together ever since. These are not pieces that passed through multiple collections. They come with a clear and personal story from the moment they left the field, court, or locker room.
At the center of Part I is Michael Jordan’s game-worn Air Jordan VIII sneakers from Game 5 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden, a game in which Jordan recorded one of only two playoff triple-doubles of his career, finishing with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists. Beyond the centerpiece, the collection spans game-worn shoes from Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Hardaway, and Grant Hill; game-used and signed bats from Tony Gwynn, Joe Carter, and Ozzie Smith; signed cleats from Andre Dawson, Doc Gooden, and Darryl Strawberry; and a 1991-92 Chicago Bulls team-signed basketball representing one of the most celebrated championship rosters in NBA history.
Early Baseball Postcards Including the 1907 Wolverine News Ty Cobb
A group of early baseball postcards fresh to market from a West Coast estate, where they had been displayed on the walls of a collector’s home since the early 20th century. The highlight is a 1907 Wolverine News Company Detroit Tigers Ty Cobb “Batting” postcard, graded PSA 1, one of only 12 graded by PSA with only 7 graded higher. The Wolverine News issue is considered one of Cobb’s earliest cards, predating his well-known T206, and was produced to coincide with the Tigers’ 1907 World Series appearance. The group also includes additional cards from the same set, plus rare 1908 Chicago Cubs and White Sox postcards.
Yankees Historical Documents
A strong group of Yankees-related documents including original 1921 Yankee Stadium engineering drawings, a Thurman Munson signed 1969 Puerto Rico player contract, a 1934 Yankees team-signed baseball, and 1942 production storyboards from Pride of the Yankees.
Michael Jordan Memorabilia
Beyond the Locker Room Collection, the auction features several additional Jordan pieces including a signed baseball jersey, a signed basketball, original Space Jam advertising artwork, a PSA 9 graded 1986 Fleer rookie card and more.
