Howdy Partners!
Sotheby’s announced this week that we will be auctioning off the “Dinasty Collection”, composed of 6 pairs of sneakers used by Michael Jordan during NBA championship games with the Bulls. While they still haven’t put a price on the whole collection, experts are saying that it would start at 60 million dollars, at least. This has triggered a new trend with startups that will now accept collectible sneakers as investment capital.
