SLAM history continues to show up in the sports collectible world, the latest gem being a cover-worn Kobe Bryant jersey featured on SLAM 126.

The auction is live in @GoldinCo's 2026 Fall Game-Used Memorabilia Auction.

Michael Jordan's game-worn jersey from Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals has set a new basketball memorabilia record with a private sale price of $14 million.

Three of MJ's jerseys from the 1998 Finals have sold in the past five years. Will we ever see the rest?

Students! We're looking for graphic designers with a passion for sports collectibles to join us in a Spring 2027 internship for school credit.

The absolute heat sitting in the SLAM Packs at @Courtyard_io is unreal.

Who is going big game hunting this weekend?

When a PSA 10 hits the market, collectors take notice.

This /673 Orange Metal edition of Caitlin Clark's 2025 cover is one of just two copies to score a perfect mint and with a current bid of $425 is inches away from setting a new record with over eight days remaining at Goldin.

September saw the rapidly growing Ghostwrite community celebrate a major W.

A 1/1 fire crown Victor Wembanyama sold on eBay for $52,500 - a new high watermark for the vertical.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

Cooper Flagg's Topps Chrome debut patch just shattered the all-time record for a basketball card.

The 1/1 grail, once the subject of countless bounties from personalities in and out of the collectibles world, sold in a Fanatics Collect auction for $8,040,000.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

There's a new all-time record for a graded magazine. A 9.8 of Michael Jordan's first Sports Illustrated cover in a Bulls jersey sold at Goldin for over $378K this weekend.

Who else has been keeping that box of old issues pristine all these years?

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

In the midst of shutdown of their Value and Bulk tiers that has stretched back to June, PSA has added an additional service tier to help work through their backlog.

Collectors, our reopening starts here. Meet Standard, available September 14 at $59.99 per card. https://t.co/n5A4mFUSvW

They're here.

The first Platinum Metal SLAM mag to surface on eBay is listed with a Buy It Now price of $2,500.

For the first time in four years, /24 Platinum Metals are back. This time as chase parallels in Orange Metal runs.

[thePit @ThePitCards]

We were the seller in this transaction. The buyer has one of the largest collections of high-end Wemby cards. We’re delighted to see crossover buyers coming to magazines from the card world, but we’re not surprised as the photographic quality, aesthetic appeal and rarity (#/94) of this SLAM #240 Gold matches up well against any of his cards.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

A Gold Metal copy of Victor Wembanyama's SLAM debut just set a new all-time high for any unsigned SLAM magazine on a public platform.

The 9.6-graded CGC slab sold at eBay for $5,950 over the weekend, eclipsing last year's 9.9-graded Caitlin Clark debut which sold for $4,819.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

@Necessary__Hype Great finds. Gotta keep these safe until PSA or CGC start grading oversized publications.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

LeBron James' first SLAM cover set a pair of new all-time highs at Goldin last month.

The iconic magazine featuring James and Sebastian Telfair sold for $1,526, a new high watermark for any public sale of a newsstand issue from the early 2000s.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

The photomatched kicks from Angel Reese's 2023 championship season - worn when she went viral for blocking a shot with one shoe - is up for auction at @Heritage_Sport.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

Deal or no deal?

The Dallas Mavericks are offering 32 years worth of premium, lower level season tickets, a signed, game-worn Cooper Flagg jersey, private experiences and more for the 1/1 Cooper Flagg Debut Patch auto.

[SLAM Grails @SLAMGrails]

@concertkenny Hey Kenny, I'll make sure the right people see this.

[James @CGC_SI]

While I didn’t attend, I’m getting rave reviews about the SLAM booth at Fanatics Fest. Just look at all the slabbed issues they have!

Then I saw Amar’e Stoudemire post this on his IG. This is the first time I’ve ever seen an athlete acknowledge the graded magazine hobby like this. And not just any athlete, this guy was the NBA Rookie of the Year and a 6x All-Star.

Crazy to see how far this hobby has come!
