Why Is Jordan's Game-Worn Jersey Worth More Than Modern Rookie Cards?

Could Michael Jordan’s 1998 Finals jersey really be worth over $15 million?
Ryan Alford, Brian Ludden and Bella Shafer break down the upcoming sale, debate what the jersey is actually worth, and discuss whether game-worn memorabilia is becoming an even bigger part of the collectibles market. Their predictions range from $25 million to more than $40 million.
They also take a hard look at the new Topps flagship football release, discuss whether affordable wax can still deliver an exciting ripping experience, revisit the iconic 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie, and talk modern chase cards, Frozen Fractors, Minions, SPs and SSPs.
