Arguably the rarest variation of Michael Jordan signed jersey you can find, presented here for your bidding pleasure is a Chicago Bulls #12 jersey.
This jersey is made to the likeness of the jersey worn by MJ in 1990, during what is now a storied game he had against the Orlando Magic. Upon preparing to suit up for action, Jordan discovered that his #23 jersey had been stolen from the team's wardrobe bag. Without his jersey, Jordan was forced to wear a #12 jersey that the equipment manager had as a backup for such an occasion. Jordan played one half of ball wearing #12, and a halftime a Bulls staff member found a Jordan #23 jersey in the gift shop and brought it to Jordan for the remainder of the game. But alas, Michael Jordan was #12 for a part (albeit a very brief part) of his career!
MJ has boldly signed along the back number in silver metallic marker and the jersey stands in excellent condition. To date, this is the only authentically signed Jordan #12 jersey that we've ever seen! Accompanied by a COA from Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA).
