Starting point is 00:00:00 You hold a very recognizable piece from my favorite player, Michael Jordan. Game 3 jersey from the 98 NBA Finals has been in the headlines. I don't understand why Bosquiat or Warhol or Picasso, 20 years from now, will be more valuable than this particular Michael Jordan NBA Finals jersey. The passion for sports is so strong and it continues to get stronger. And it's a way for you to own a piece of that game. What do we think the jersey's going to go for? You got a number in mind?
Starting point is 00:00:30 There's no reason why you shouldn't go for over $100 million. I'm Ryan Alford. And I'm Bella Schaefer. And this is Collector Nation. Content in the hobby just for you all in one place. All the videos, all the podcasts, all the reels, all those drops you want right here, right now. On today's episode of Collector Nation, I talked to Rob Gough, the owner of the 1998 Michael Jordan jersey from game three of the finals. Yeah, that one that's been floating.
Starting point is 00:01:10 around talking about $100 million, that's it. We talk about how he got it, what he's doing, what he's up to. Maybe pull out a few collectibles or two that will get you dreaming. Let me tell you, big numbers, big conversation. Right here, right now, I'll collect your nation. What's up? Rob, welcome to collector nation. What's up, brother? Nice to meet you. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, man, pumped to have you. You hold a very recognizable piece from my favorite player. One Mr. Michael Jordan. Game 3 jersey from the 98 NBA finals that's been in the headlines lately for going to auction, as I understand it, man.
Starting point is 00:01:49 How the hell did you get that piece? It wasn't easy. You know, the fun thing about, you know, collecting is finding the pieces that you want. And, you know, several years ago, this was something that I tried to hunt down. And, you know, I didn't know where it was, to be honest. and it's just one person led to this person, which led to this person, and, you know, which led to a middleman, a broker, and that particular, you know, broker got it done.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Initially, you know, he said, I'm only going to charge you X dollars, and then it comes to find out, you know, these, you know, he made a lot more than that X dollar agreement. But I got the piece, and I've been thrilled to have it in my life for many years now. Yeah, man. What made you decide to put it up for sale? You know, it was in the house and, you know, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. The friends would come over for dinner and, you know, they would obviously enjoy it and get a look at it and things. And it's just been in the vault recently and it just kind of, you know, I feel like you're kind of a steward of these things.
Starting point is 00:03:00 And if you're not enjoying it, maybe it's time to let somebody else enjoy it. Yeah. And so, you know. Was it viewed as an investment, too? I mean, in some ways? Yeah, of course. I think these things are all great and best, well, you know, buy what you want. But for me, you know, I think if you buy the best of the best, in my personal opinion, you know, that's how I've kind of structured things.
Starting point is 00:03:22 If you buy the best of the best and very rare pieces of the most iconic players, then, you know, I've always thought of it from my own personal portfolio is it's a good in store of value for sure. It doesn't hurt that all this stuff is like going through the roof here lately. I mean, the values. It's just been this market with the high end best of the best stuff in cards and merchandise and collectibles and game worn and all that stuff. I mean, what's your perspective? I mean, like, everything can't go up forever, can it? You know, listen, when I bought the 52 Top Mickey Mantle PSA 9 in 2021 for $5.2 million, everybody thought I was absolutely insane. I got against a world record for paying the most money and being the crazy one.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And it's, you know, now looking back, everybody kind of says, oh, that was, that was brilliant. So who knows? You know, I think for me, my own kind of thoughts are as, you know, governments print more and more cash and as things, you know, let's say Elon's correct and there's going to be a billion robots producing five times more productive than humans than everything. is kind of, you know, able to be produced easily. I do think that rare items that are one of one and that can't be replicated, I think, you know, should go up in value. Who knows? But that's kind of what my thoughts have always been.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. It seems like the appetite has increased. We went, because it was, you know, the collectors and then finally Main Street investors come along and go, wait a second. They can no longer call it, you know, with cards at least the cheap cardboard because, you know, that was sort of the dig forever. And then, but when you line up, you know, vintage, classic vintage Hall of Fame cards, you know, the 30, 40 year history of their values and they're what, eight or nine, 10x,
Starting point is 00:05:22 what, even what the incredible stock market that has been lately, it's like they just can't, they couldn't classify it as worthless cardboard anymore, right? Yeah, if you look at other collectible assets, let's look at our. because art is, you know, obviously more expensive than, than cards or gain use and mobility have sold for. But, you know, I have iconic pieces of art, Basquiat, let's use an example. And when you look at people that come to the house,
Starting point is 00:05:51 they walk right past the Bosquiat into the Jersey. So if you think of it, the way that humans kind of, that I've noticed, I don't understand why Bosquiat or a Warhol or Picasso in 20, years from now will be more important or more valuable than this particular Michael Jordan NBA finals jersey. The passion for sports is so strong and it continues to get stronger and it's a way for you to own a piece of of that game. The own the jersey off of a guy's back. There's not, it's nothing that gets you closer to the game than that. So with art, there's really no, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:28 there's no passion. You didn't know the guy. You didn't watch him. You weren't at the game with your father. you didn't watch it on television. So, you know, I've kind of been wondering in my head, you know, why are these things so valuable? I'm saying the art side and so much more valuable than a game-used jersey. And I'm seeing a big disconnect. I think that the game used jerseys, if it's an iconic moment and an iconic player,
Starting point is 00:06:54 I think that they're highly undervalued. Now, I think that, you know, if the player loses the game, that I think that's a bigger disc I think that's less valuable than a winning game jersey you know it's because I told a friend of the day it's you know if Jordan lost the game
Starting point is 00:07:11 I'm not going to point on the wall and say remember that game that Michael Jordan lost like even if it's his last game in Chicago whatever I'm just not like I don't want that jersey in the wall I'd talk about the excitement of the game and how important that game was and how exciting that that moment was
Starting point is 00:07:27 that to me I think is very important What's the talk to me about what do we think the jersey's going to go for you got a number in mind Listen I was talking to a big a big voice in the space and you know he's like listen there's there's no reason why I shouldn't go for over a hundred million dollars I don't really know the value you know you've got these these logo man cards that are selling for 11 plus million dollars and it's a small piece of a logo from a from a jersey this is the actual jersey, Michael Jordan War, of the most important game of his career. I mean, it changed the momentum of the last dance. You know, when it's tied one to one and an NBA finals,
Starting point is 00:08:11 whoever wins game three has an 80 plus percent chance of winning the series. And so it's the most important game of the series. And not only did he win the game, but Jordan destroyed Utah. And there's two NBA finals records that are held still to this day, the largest blow in history. Imagine you're playing in that game and you blow them out. it changes the momentum. Like you just, you just feel more confident,
Starting point is 00:08:32 you feel more excited, and it allowed them to go and win the series. And so I don't know what it could go for. I think it'll just, it takes, you know, two to tango, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:41 if I'm willing to pay 500 million, you're willing to pay 10 million, and it only goes for 11. So it just, who knows, you know, I think it'll be interesting. I think it's a piece of history.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I don't, I don't think there's anything better. I think game used jerseys are, are very undervalued at the moment. I don't, I don't think you will realize, how important they are. They're buying all these expensive, modern cards with a piece of fabric on it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I just think that the actual jersey is very cool. Yeah, man. What do you think it'll go for? I have an opinion on this because I've already shared it. We shared on this show. Actually, before we got in touch with you, and I was, I said north of 35, as I recall, 30, 35. I just said north of there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:23 It was my call. Everyone else's call was somewhere between 15 and 30. I was the only one that was, I think it's north of that for a lot of the reasons that you said. And I just think there's, I don't know, some smart people out there to recognize that. I mean, I mean, listen, game one, he lost that game. That sold years ago for $10.1 million at South of Bees. The market was much different that time, meaning there were not a lot, there are much less collectors in the space at that moment.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yep. I know that person that bought that jersey, fantastic person, you know, and that was a great purchase. I don't know, man. It just, you never know. But I do think that if these cards are selling for these crazy amounts and I just, who knows. Yeah. It'll be fun to watch. And listen, whatever it goes for, it'll be great.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Exactly. When is it going? Give me some of those details. or you know for the audience and then we'll transition to a couple things Rob. Yeah, so it's going, I think it goes live September 15th on Jupiter auctions,
Starting point is 00:10:31 which is the auction house, Ferrell Williams launched. They brought on a fantastic team from, you know, the big auction houses, Christie's and things. And then it ends, I believe,
Starting point is 00:10:43 September 29th. I don't know if it's been announced, but there is a bit on it. Has that been announced? Not the word. You announce it. You announce it, yeah. Well, so there's a bid at $10 million, so after fees $12.3 million.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So it already has broken the record for the most expensive NBA jersey. So that's... If it goes for that, I'll eat this microphone. I know, me too. If it goes to that, I mean, this person got the best deal of in the lifetime. Yeah, it's not going for that. But good to have a bit. Hey, you got to start somewhere, Rob.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Right, right. It's at least, you know, because it's at least shows that somebody's interested. Yeah. I hope you buy it. You should buy it. Oh, yeah, I'm going to buy it. Put a bit in. And by the way, this is also something that I think is interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:40 PSA, they have a lending department and they've said, hey, we'll lend against it. I think they're going to lend, you know, a big percentage of whatever it sells for. I don't know, the loan of value that they're saying. So if anybody wants to have extra buying power, I know PSA will give it to you. And I'm sure Jupiter could set up that intro or I can set the intro. Yeah. No problem. So anyone listening, because this will air in plenty of time for you to get that bid in
Starting point is 00:12:10 or to take Rob up on any of that. We'll have all those in there. Rob, what did you do before you started buying priceless jerseys? You know, I grew up in Indiana. I've just had, you know, I've been an entrepreneur since I was young. Just didn't grow up with money. So just kind of would bootstrap things, grow it, sell it, bootstrap something else, grow it, sell it, you know, invest in things or buy a business, grow it and sell it. So that was my background, to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:12:41 And, yeah, then I got into this stuff. What were most of the businesses that are in? Were they service businesses? Were they, you know, like, what kind of business are we talking about? You know, it was, for me, it was always, once I kind of beat an industry, I, I wasn't smart. Like most people, well, they're like, they'll go back to the same industry and it's a lot easier the second time around and they have the relationships. And, you know, that's the, that's the better route. I would always say, I'm going to go and try to conquer a new challenge and a new industry.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's just like if I played a video game as a child and I beat the level, I wouldn't go back and play the level again and do it faster. I would go and try to play the next level. And so I've done it in multiple different industries from the internet. You know, I had the largest coupon site. I had a clothing business called dope. I actually still on dope.com. I had a recycling business, you know, just sold different, you know, different things. I had an auction site back a long, long time ago.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And then now I recently bought, you know, the World High Lie League, which is a fantastic sport. a 500-year-old sport. It's 100 years been played in Miami. It's the fastest ball sport in the world. Very dangerous. People don't realize the dangerous consequence, you know, you've got a ball as hard as a rock, and it's being thrown almost 200 miles per hour.
Starting point is 00:14:01 You get hit by that. There's some dangerous consequences. But big gambling sport. It's live for gambling in 25 states on all the biggest platforms. It's an amazing sport. It's just what happened, unfortunately, in the United States, it was very, very popular. 15,500 people that filled the stands,
Starting point is 00:14:16 It's more popular than a Miami Heat game. And what happened was the players decided to strike. They wanted more money like everybody sometimes does. And they striked. And it was the longest strike in sports history three years. And when they came back, the audience left and there was actually no money. So they striked and they got no money, which I'm fortunate. So it kind of crushed the sport in the United States.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's always been very popular in the Basque country in France and Spain. and around the world. But this league is big. It's been around for a while in Miami and I'm very excited to grow it and make it more popular than ever. Yeah, man. Tell for our audience,
Starting point is 00:15:02 I've spent time in Miami in this, probably 15, 20 years ago, whenever it might have been longer than that, but got exposed to High-Eye and was always fascinated from afar. But for our audience, It's like explain the sport and the game a little bit for anyone that doesn't know. People say it's like Tron.
Starting point is 00:15:23 You know, you have this wicker basket that they're handmade. It's called a sesta. And you have to have it on your right hand. And you throw this ball that's as hard as a rock against a wall. I record it, I think it's 126 feet. And so you throw it against the wall. And then it comes back and you have to catch in the sesta or let it bounce once and catch it without bobbling it. throw up back.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And that's kind of the easy gist of it. But, you know, you're jumping against a concrete wall. You're falling on a concrete floor trying to catch this thing. You have no pads but a helmet. You're dodging this ball, going 200 miles per hour. There's other players launching and, you know, behind you. And it's bananas. You know, once you watch it in person, I didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You know, growing up in Indiana, we didn't have Highline. And we never went to Miami growing up. So I actually bought a team first. And then once I went to the game, I'm like, this is insane. And these guys are just crazy athletes and just putting their life at risk for, I'm like, what are these guys doing? This is wild. And so I had it by the league because I think the television, you know, we're live streamed on ESB in a couple of places.
Starting point is 00:16:40 But I don't think it looks as beautiful as it should. You know, we're the fastest ball in the world, but we're not. telling you how fast the balls are going. The lighting, I think, is off. Like, I just think that they can be elevated. The stands, I've hired a great team to get people into the stands and create that energy and, you know, redo the universe. I just got to want to redo everything.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So it'll be a different experience next year. But once you go to a game, I was hooked. Maybe I'm crazy. But I understand why there used to be 15,000 plus people jamming into a stand and why there were celebrities and, you know, I get it. Once I was there, I got it.

What's the gambling aspect that's always been happening? heavily part of it. Like, is it just the nature of the game that lends itself to that? But talk to me about that layer. You know, back in the day, well, the gambling aspect because there's so many points and it's
Starting point is 00:17:56 so active, so you have a lot of things to bet on. The problem with back in the day is it was parimutual betting. And that's kind of a dying idea, which I believe, you know, it's basically, you know, let's say the odds right now are five to one. But as other people bet, those odds switch. even though I've already bet, they switch as a way I kind of understand it. So the World High Lie League is not the traditional gambling method that High Lie always has been. It's the way that you gamble on High Line now at the World of Highlight League at least is like a traditional sports bet, like an NBA or an NFL bet.
Starting point is 00:18:32 And that's why it's all on draft Kings of Pandool and Hard Rock and all these different things. So it's definitely different now that it used to be because back then it was just, you know, I, I think the way it is now, it's more fair for the gambler. It's just a more modern way to do it now than what it used to be. But yeah, it's always been a big gambling sport. People love to gamble on it. You know, it's good for engagement. It's a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And when you're in the arena, you just got your, you know, hard rock app and you can just gamble right there. And it's fantastic. Yeah. The interaction is key. And I think, I do think there's something exciting. I always was fascinating. It seems so exciting. game itself. I think it has a lot of potential if it's executed the right way, like you said.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I think that's going to be the key. What is the plans for the league as far as, you know, expansion in those kind of things? Well, they've been selling teams on a year by year basis, kind of like a rental. So Udonis Haslow would get a team every year. Ray Lewis would get a team every year. And so when I bought the league, I actually bought all the teams. And so I'm curating these team owners. Well, I should start to announce the team owners in the next month or two. I'm still kind of interviewing different people and trying to find the right team owners, but got some really massive names that have come on and they're buying teams.
Starting point is 00:20:01 And so I think that'll really help. We're going to add city names to the different teams and just make this thing more exciting for the fan experience. You know, I'm putting a lot of money and a ton of time into making the fans. fans, I'm investing back into the sport and investing to make sure the fans have a good time and enjoy the sport more than ever. Where is it going to be? What cities?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Well, right now we're all played exclusively in Miami. Yeah. But, you know, I'm kind of, I'm hoping that the team owners will want to put it in the cities where they buy their, you know, their team in. So, for instance, one is an NBA team owner and, you know, he wants to put it in his stadium, where his NBA team plays, which is fantastic. It's great for his city. It's great for me, you know, a guy that owns an NBA team, obviously has great experience with team ownership.
Starting point is 00:20:53 So it'll be really nice. And once you, next year, you should come out. I love to host you for a game. Yeah, man, I'd love that. Anytime I would love that. Every Friday in Miami, it would probably about 730 in the evening. Do you have any pieces, Rob? You can, like, show us or anything?
Starting point is 00:21:11 anything is there's a couple pieces in that closet behind you there or whatever i i i uh well you i got the guesprick award record i have the base the card that actually jordan is yeah actually i got something cool for you okay here we go we're on youtube too man we got to show some stuff okay so first of all most important thing is is the card that jordan's this is him wearing the jersey that's for sale wow yes the car That's cool. But I'll tell you what I just got. And that is, and it's not displayed yet.
Starting point is 00:21:47 But I just got from the same series from the 1998 NBA Finals, I just got another jersey. I got Rodman's jersey. Oh, wow. Rodman's jersey. From the same game? No, game four. Still. Still series.
Starting point is 00:22:04 That's sick. Yeah. So I just got that. So, you know, that was the most important series. You know. You picked that one up down at Belks or something? At where? Yeah, the department store.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I'm kidding. Yeah, it was crazy. You couldn't believe it. The goodwill's really stepped up their game. Yeah. No, China makes these things, dude. It's great. No, I got it from Heritage Auctions.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, heritage. Love that. Eric. Eric, my boy. He's coming on the show. but yeah that's all i mean i got it so much
Starting point is 00:22:45 everything invaluable is actually not at the house this this only got here i don't know i thought i was sitting to the vault and i guess it got sent here but everything nowadays i don't really keep anything at the house it's all's your favorite piece or card specifically maybe what's your favorite card in the collection these days we still have that PSA nine or did we sell that sold the mantle yeah i did okay there Did okay there. Yeah, sold it for, yeah, eight figures. It's a good on that one.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I would say the coolest, the things, I would say the two cards that I like the most of my collection now is the bird, bird magic Irving, PSA 10, 1980 tops. And then the car that I have, it doesn't have the 10 doesn't have the print defect in the corner, which is even a smaller percentage of the 10. 10s don't have that that dot. And then the 1996 Kobe credentials, PSA 10. It's pop four. That card is so tough to get a 10 in. But, you know, it's the first time they numbered cards.
Starting point is 00:23:59 It's Kobe's rookie card. I think it's the most undervalued Kobe card. I think it's more important than these, you know, even like a patch card or low because it's his rookie card. and it's first time they numbered them. And so, I don't know, for me, that that card is just so special. I think it looks beautiful. Even the green version is, I think it's called the X-2000.
Starting point is 00:24:21 It's also, I think, very cool because it's got the cloud in the middle. I have a PSC 10 of that too. But I'd say those are the two, I think, off the top of my head that I like the most right now, you know, my collection from a card standpoint. Yeah. How many cards do you have in your collection? Oh, man. I don't know, a lot.
Starting point is 00:24:51 But I think it pivoted for me, you know, it's, I think you got to buy what you love and what's, you know, like I'm looking at a Reggie Miller PSA 10 rookie card. I grew up in Indiana. So, you know, that card's not that valuable. But, you know, as a kid, Reggie Miller was the man, you know. So I think you got a, you know, Michael Jordan for me as a child was the man. So to have, you know, the jersey he's wearing in this car is cool for me, you know. And so that's what I think you got to, I think that's what's important. Yeah, you look at it now.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I mean, I was just away for the weekend. And kids were wearing, you know, 23 on their back. And it's just, it's amazing how he's still so popular to the youth. And also, I mean, obviously LeBron is a fantastic player. But the crazy thing about Jordan is he never got political. And I think that was good also for his. audience. He never alienated anybody. And whereas LeBron, you know, shares his opinion.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And I think that alienates part of, part of his collector base. And so I think you've got to look and be careful on what you collect because if they do, you know, you're kind of losing a part of the collectors if you kind of go one way or the other. And I think just maybe not, you know, sharing your feelings like Jordan's done a great job doing. I think it helps protect his brand that he's done a great job. job with that. I just like it because he always seemed business-like.
Starting point is 00:26:19 You know, like, it's, and it's not even a comparison with LeBron as much as just in my off the face with Jordan is like his intelligence with business and understanding no matter what his opinion is. He doesn't need that everyone got to hear his opinion. You know, like he doesn't need that attention, you know, to be, oh, I mean, it's important that you share your opinion. Well, yeah. but sometimes not sharing your opinion is the best move.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah. Like, just because your feelings, you know, want to be hurt or people want, you know, you owe it to the people. Well,
Starting point is 00:26:57 not, I mean, not necessarily. Right. And it's, I think he always understood that he could have, you know, boundaries between profession and opinion and all those things.
Starting point is 00:27:12 At a level. that um and look and it probably i mean obviously he didn't turn off people but there's a segment that's just thinking of michael's cold or like all that because but not sick he's a smart businessman yeah and i can't imagine how it is being that that famous you know it's like i bombarded just after i bought the high line it's like i can't keep up with all the emails and people trying to give me their their ideas and opinions, which I love. It's amazing. I want to be able to listen and talk to everybody, but it's tough. What I'm going through, I cannot imagine being the most famous and the best basketball player of all time. When everybody just wants a picture
Starting point is 00:27:58 and to, you know, have a story with you, it would be, I don't know how you, you handle that. That'd be very difficult. But he's done a great job. Rob, drop some details or websites, links, those kind of things with High Lie and then anything else you've got going on that you want, known, and which thrift store you recommend picking up Jordan Jersey that? And the Jordan jerseys. I got the Jordan jersey from Goodwill, too. It's crazy this place. What an ROI.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It's amazing. Grads selling. I was crazy. Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously I hope somebody, incredible. Whoever gets this jersey, congratulations. Feel free to reach out. I love to buy you dinner. And I hope you,
Starting point is 00:28:49 if you get it for 12 million, you got to steal. Good work. And so that'll be fun to watch. Highline is in Miami at the moment. It's just highline.com, which nobody will ever understand how to spell it. It's spelled wildly different than we're used to in America. It's J-A-I-L-A-I-com. And then I was just on Instagram at Rob
Starting point is 00:29:10 gee, feel free to message me or follow or whatever and keep in touch. And, yeah, hope to see everybody at Highlight. I mean, I love to host you and your family at a Highlight game. Anytime you let me know and I'll fly down from Puerto Rico and see. I'll be out of every game, I'm sure. And, yeah, I mean, I'm excited for this to come out and your audience to hopefully buy the Jordan jersey. Yeah, man, we'll get it out there. And we'll follow up, Rob, about, you know, maybe find out what you.
Starting point is 00:29:40 can with the auction house and see if there's some component that we could bring to life with how that thing gets countdown or, you know, like how it, you know, it turns out. If nothing else, maybe just even a five or ten minute, like, quick, you know, after the fact of, you know, the final gavel, so to speak. Yeah, I'll either be crying because it's sold for only 12 or I'll be, or crying. because it's over a lot. Yeah, I think you're safe on the above the 12-3. I would, shock isn't even a fair word.
Starting point is 00:30:20 It would be impossible. I'll say this. I'll get a bid in if that's what it goes for. I just know it's not going for that. Let's get it. I mean, I told you, PSA will, you know, they'll lend against it. So it's perfect. I'm not borrowing any money.
Starting point is 00:30:35 But I'll, you know. Get it. Not for a collectible. But I don't think it's going for 12.3. I think it's north of 30. That's my opinion. Let's get it. Man, it'd be great if it hits 100.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I really think it goes. Look, it has all the logic to total. Like, I know where that number comes from. And I can get there mentally, like with, like, comparing, you know, the cards and everything we've talked about. So I, nothing would surprise me in this market. And I think the valuation would be justified. But I'm being conservative, you know, I think at north of 30. Let's go, buddy.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Let's get it. Yeah, Rob. It's been fun, brother. And I'm going to take you up on that high lie next in the spring, I guess. Yeah, next year. Come out. I think the season will start February 26 every Friday for like 26 weeks. So come out.
