The biggest card collecting event of the year, The National, is just days away, and YouTube phenom Jesser is set to absolutely ignite the scene. On Saturday, August 1st, he’s bringing millions of his fans right into the heart of Chicago virtually via Upper Deck’s eBay Live stream, prepping for an auction of 10 premium Michael Jordan collectibles, each one valued between a jaw-dropping $8,000 and $15,000.
MJ’s Legacy Hits the Auction Block with NBA Legends
You think you know card collecting? Get ready for a whole new level. Jesser won’t be alone on this wild ride, he’ll be joined by Upper Deck President Jason Masherah and two absolute NBA legends: Doug Collins, Jordan’s old coach, and Ron Harper, an MJ title-winning teammate and father of rising star Dylan Harper. This isn’t just some stuffy auction either. It’s a live show within the show, transforming a massive collecting moment into a full-on interactive experience where fans can engage, watch, and even bid in real time, even if they can’t make it to The National themselves. For those who are there, you can actually see these iconic pieces of sports history up close in the eBay Arena. Jesser, a massive Bulls fan and collector himself, calls this opportunity “super cool.” He’s got an MJ autographed jersey and cards of his own, so you know this is personal. He knows Jordan autos are tough to get, and to do this on eBay Live at The National? He says it’s “the peak. It doesn’t get better than that.”
Beyond the Big Bucks: Stories and the Next Generation
But what about us everyday fans, right? Most of us aren’t dropping eight to fifteen grand on a single card. Jesser gets it. He says there’s tons of accessible memorabilia at The National for everyone. But the real magic of this stream with Collins and Harper? It’s the stories. You get to hear their personal locker room tales, the history behind the pieces. That’s a huge part of collecting, connecting to the past. Jesser himself points out it’s like “The Last Dance” all over again, making you fall in love with the game and its history. He never even watched Jordan play live, it was that documentary that made him understand MJ’s greatness. With these legends sharing their experiences, a whole new generation of collectors will get that same feeling. And if you’re wondering how a YouTube star even gets into this, Jesser’s own journey started with eBay back in 2017. He wanted to film a video opening $10,000 worth of NBA boxes, chasing a Luka Doncic rookie card. What did he pull? A Jalen Brunson! Hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?
So mark your calendars for Saturday, August 1st. Whether you’re ready to bid on a piece of MJ history or just want to soak in the incredible stories from two NBA legends, Jesser’s eBay Live stream at The National is going to be an absolute must-watch. Get ready for some serious history and some serious hype!
