A Michael Jordan jersey autograph climbs to No. 1 on eBay's most-watched board while Panini Origins and Topps Chrome Black lock in their August release dates.
A 2000 Upper Deck Pros & Prospects Level 2 Michael Jordan jersey autograph, numbered to 23 and graded BGS 8.5, now sits at the very top of Cardboard Connection's live most-watched board with 523 watchers. Our August 10 coverage caught this same listing jumping 29 percent in a day to a $67,600 bid; it has since climbed to the number-one watcher spot. Serial-numbered Jordan game-used autos from this era rarely surface, which is why the room keeps circling this one.
Panini Origins Basketball for 2025-26 goes on sale this Wednesday, August 19. Origins is the on-card autograph release collectors watch for rookie signatures without the super-premium price of the flagship hits, so a fresh class landing here is worth a calendar mark.
Topps has locked in August 27 as the full on-sale date for 2025-26 Topps Chrome Black Basketball, a 150-card set led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren, with parallels running down to a 1/1 Superfractor. When we flagged this set's presale back on July 22, only the raffle date was set; this pins down when boxes actually reach collectors. The EQL presale ran $349.99 a hobby box.
2026 Topps Chrome MLS Soccer now has a firm on-sale date of September 10, with Value Blasters alongside the hobby boxes. Our August 10 look at the presale only had the open date; this locks in when the set actually drops, giving MLS collectors a clear target.

Man City have made €116M in transfer profit from these stars who couldn't nail down a starting spot 🥲 Even the bench is profitable at the Etihad ♨️
LiveScore shared a graphic tallying 116 million euros in transfer profit City made on five squad players who never nailed down a starting spot, two of them sold to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. The graphic names none of the five, so treat the total as the post's own claim, but the bench-is-profitable jab is the kind of thing City fans and rivals both pass around.
