Fabulous Finds & The Last Dance Shoes
The Never-Ending Treasure Hunt
The famous Forrest Fenn treasure hunt continues even after the chest was found in 2020 by Jack Stuef, who has chosen not to disclose its location. Some treasure hunters still believe the treasure hasn't been found and continue searching, while others seek a different kind of closure. The lack of answers has led to frustration and conspiracy theories, including allegations of collaboration between Stuef and Fenn. Lawsuits and Freedom of Information requests have become part of the ongoing saga. Some hope that Fenn's unpublished autobiography, rumored to have been sold privately by Stuef, will eventually reveal the truth and provide closure.
Save The Last Dance For Michael Jordan!
A pair of Michael Jordan's Air Jordan XIII Breds, worn during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals, has sold for a record-breaking $2,238,000 at a Sotheby's auction. These sneakers surpassed the previous record set by another pair of Jordan-worn shoes, the Nike Air Ships, which sold for $1.472 million in 2021. The Air Jordan XIII Breds are the last shoes Jordan wore in a game and have been authenticated by the NBA. The 1998 NBA Finals, also known as the "Last Dance," marked Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls and has been the subject of a documentary with the same title. Jordan gifted the Air Jordan 13s to a ball boy from the Utah Jazz after the ball boy found Jordan's lost jacket in the visiting team's locker room. The high price achieved at the auction highlights the enduring demand and value of Michael Jordan's sports memorabilia.
