Are Game-Worn Jerseys the Most UNDERVALUED Assets in Sports?!15 sept.33 min

Rob Gough joins Ryan Alford to discuss one of the most significant pieces of Michael Jordan memorabilia to come to market: the white jersey Jordan wore during Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals.

Rob shares how he tracked the jersey down, why he eventually decided it was time to sell and why he believes the best game-worn pieces from iconic athletes remain undervalued compared with other alternative assets. He also reveals that the jersey already has a $10 million bid and explains why he believes it could ultimately reach $100 million.

Ryan and Rob also discuss Rob’s broader collection, including his former 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 9, a rare Kobe Bryant Credentials PSA 10 and Dennis Rodman’s jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals. The conversation then expands into Rob’s approach to collecting, alternative assets and his plans for the World Jai Alai League.
