These incredible memorabilia pieces are being presented through Leland’s 2024 Fall Classic Auction, set to take place from now until October 19.
One-of-a-Kind Debut Ticket Stub
The NBA debut ticket stub from 1984 is graded an EX-MT (Population 1-of-1) by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) and is considered one-of-a-kind.

PSA AUTO 9 Signed Game-Worn Jersey Card
The 1998 Upper Deck Basketball Game Jersey #GJ20 autograph card, signed as part of the Make-a-Wish Foundation for a young boy, features a patch from a game-worn Jordan jersey.

Along with the card, the winning bidder will receive a USB drive containing videos and photos from the signing ceremony.
