1982 NCAA Finals Michael Jordan Hits "The Shot" Ticket Stub (Yellow Variant), Signed by Jordan, PSA EX 5 & Auto 10 - Pop One, None Superior! Three future Hall of Famers would do battle at the Louisiana Superdome on March 29, 1982 to determine whether Michael Jordan and James Worthy's UNC Tarheels or Patrick Ewing's Georgetown Hoyas were the best team in collegiate basketball. It would prove to be one of the most exciting and fiercely contested Finals in March Madness history, providing the freshman Jordan with the first of many watershed moments on the national stage, a fifteen-foot jumper from the left baseline with seventeen seconds to play which would prove to be the final points scored in Carolina's 63 to 62 victory. On this date, the legend of Air Jordan was born.

While 109 stubs from that historic contest appear in a PSA slab, only five specimens bear the autograph of the man who hit the game-winner, and, of that five, there are only two yellow variation exemplars. The yellow variant stub offered here is the highest graded exemplar of that genre. Furthermore, it bears, quite literally, a perfect black sharpie signature. Validation from PSA/DNA eliminate any authenticity concerns. It should be noted that Heritage Auctions sold a blue variant of this ticket (also signed) in May of 2021 for $90,000. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, EX 5 & Auto 10.
