Michael Jeffrey Jordan’s birth certificate is back on the market.
The item – one of MJ’s earliest, most unique items – sold for $26,290 at auction through Heritage in August.
But according to the listing, “the sale was cancelled however because the buyer was unresponsive.”
The certificate documents the basketball legend’s birth at 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 17, 1963 after 14 hours of labor. Measuring 7×8 inches, the item features a rough left edge and small tear, but according to the seller “these issuers cause no significant distraction.”
The document is now being offered with a Buy It Now price of $23,000, with the listing running until Sunday.
Wouldn’t he want to hold on to that? Won’t he need it to confirm his identity if he gets a new job, or has to get a new passport, and gets married again, etc…
i am sure this is just one of a few copies. during one’s life, you can go to the relevant office and obtain a certified original of your birth certificate.
The original certificate is not worth $23000 let alone a certified copy. The other birth certs sold were from dead people..is there something I do not know..
Not having the original birth certificate can cause problem from driving to opening IRAs..
Has to be a copy someone made and I could care less unless at birth he hit a winning shot .
Then maybe .
if a bottle of MJ barbecue sauce sold for $10K, this has got to be worth way more than that. it sold for $26k at a recent auction.
