Dated November 28, 1981 wire photograph of freshman Mike Jordan as he rises above the University of Kansas to hit a jump shot. Not only is this Michael Jordan's first year in college as a freshman at UNC, but it was his first ever college game! This is the only image from this important moment we have ever seen and it presents well. One of the most important moments in the life of the most important athlete of the last fifty years, this is a photograph that would sell for over $100,000 as a Type 1, so even though this is a laser/wire photograph (Type 3 from PSA), it is an incredible discovery that we are excited to offer here!
