A singular piece of basketball history—a 2006-07 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman 1/1 trading card featuring game-worn patches and autographs from two of the sport’s biggest icons, Michael Jordan and LeBron James—has sold in a private transaction for a staggering $10 million. The sale sets a new record for any card featuring LeBron James and immediately becomes a centerpiece of a high-end investment portfolio curated by celebrity entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary.

A Record-Shattering Sale: The $10 Million Dual Logoman

The world of high-stakes sports memorabilia investment reached a new peak last month with the private sale of an ultra high-end trading card. The card in question is the 2006-07 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman 1/1, a true one-of-a-kind artifact that features both Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

The card is famed for incorporating highly sought-after elements: two game-worn NBA Logoman patches—one from each legend—along with their respective on-card autographs. This combination of rarity (being a 1/1 print), iconic players, and authentic memorabilia elevated its value to historic levels.

The card was acquired in a private transaction by the trading card platform Secure in September and the sale was officially reported on October 10. The staggering $10 million price tag was confirmed by the data tool Card Ladder after observing verified evidence of the wire transfer, cementing the veracity of the sale.

The sale has made an immediate impact on the trading card market:

It is now the highest price ever recorded for any card featuring LeBron James, according to public records.
It stands as the second-most expensive Jordan card ever sold, underscoring the enduring market power of the Chicago Bulls legend.

The WonderShyne Index: An Exclusive Portfolio

The newly acquired $10 million card will not be held by a single collector; instead, it will form part of a specialized investment portfolio known as the WonderShyne Index.

This ultra high-end portfolio is a curated collection of elite trading cards, managed by celebrity entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary (best known for Shark Tank) and renowned collector Matt Allen, who operates under the social media username “shyne150.” The index is designed to treat ultra-rare trading cards as tangible assets for investment.

According to Secure, the WonderShyne Index currently holds eight cards with an Index Value of $26.6 million, highlighting the immense capital invested in this niche market.

The most notable card in the WonderShyne Index prior to the Jordan-James acquisition was the 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Kobe Bryant-Michael Jordan Dual Logoman 1/1. That card set a major record when it sold for a staggering $12.93 million in August, making it one of the most expensive sports cards ever sold globally. The addition of the James-Jordan card solidifies the index as one of the most valuable collections of modern basketball memorabilia in existence.

Condition and Rarity: The Grading Details

Despite its immense price tag, the card’s technical condition is a point of note in the grading community. Collector Matt Allen confirmed via a social media post that the Jordan-James Dual Logoman was originally purchased raw (ungraded). Since then, it has been officially graded by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), one of the leading third-party grading services.

The card received a technical grade of PSA 5, indicating a high degree of wear, print defects, or surface issues for a card of that vintage. However, the accompanying autograph was graded a near-perfect PSA/Auto 9. In the world of ultra high-end Logoman 1/1 cards, factors like the identity of the players and the rarity of the patch and autograph often dramatically outweigh a slight deduction in the condition grade, driving the price regardless.

The $10 million transaction proves that the market for generational dual-signature cards remains incredibly strong, reinforcing the investment thesis that iconic players and unique rarity are the true drivers of value in the modern trading card landscape.
