The items went up for auction in January via New Jersey-based Goldin Auctions. They included two 1980 North Carolina Tar Heels recruiting letters for Jordan -- one from assistant Bill Guthridge, and another from coach Dean Smith.
According to ESPN, three items -- a diploma and two recruiting letters -- sold for more than $50,000 combined this weekend, while a game-used Dream Team uniform drew a $32,682 winning bid. The letter from Guthridge to Jordan sold for $4,732, while the letter from Smith went for $27,009. And the diploma sold for $20,785, though the auction house said but might have not been the only one issued to Jordan.
The two letters were obtained from a storage locker rented by a Jordan's restaurant in Chapel Hill that was sold after payments weren't made.
