Michael Jordan‘s legend is almost unfathomable, made even greater by this year’s ESPN documentary The Last Dance. In the wake of the popular series, MJ memorabilia has skyrocketed in price and desirability this auction season with everything from game-worn sneakers and jerseys to contracts and basketball trading cards bringing in game-winning money!.

Just this week, a photocopy of Michael Jordan’s first-ever contract with the Chicago Bulls sold for a mind-blowing $57,068 at GottaHaveRockAndRoll‘s auction. Dating back to September 12, 1984, the contract outlines MJ’s salary and that he will be playing with the Bulls for a total of seven years. What stuns collectors is that this is a copy – not the original.

Other items riding the MJ – Last Dance wave at auction include:
