After being considered the best soccer player in history, Diego Maradona left a huge memory in his fans all over the world, naturally. And in such a successful career, of course you find lots of properties and possessions. One of them, a Convertible 911 Porsche, that is about to enter auction.

It will take place from March 3-10 at Bonham's Les Grandes Marques du Monde à Paris sales event and this sport car is not only special because Maradona drove it. It also stands out as one of 1,200 examples of the convertible that ever rolled off the production line. This car, the same that the soccer legend use to drive, is expected to fetch between $ 180,000 and $ 240,000.

A curious thing is that, during last month (January), two Michael Jordan's Rookie Cards were sold for $738,000 each. Goldin Auctions sold both mint condition examples of His Airness’s 1986 Fleer, breaking a record set less than a month prior, the astounding prices mean that the value of Jordan’s first professional basketball card has multiplied by more than 15 times since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sounds weird, but's importante to say that despite all this, Michael Jordan’s cards still aren’t the most valuable. Last summer, LeBron James’s 2003-04 Upper Deck rookie card which features a patch of a jersey worn by the NBA megastar and his autograph, sold for $1.8 million.

 

It's that we need to wait, but specialists say that Maradona's car could reach an amount of $ 240,000. In that case, it would be clear: a single card of Michael Jordan would be more expensive than the soccer legend's car.
