Michael Jordan recruiting letters found in storage locker up for auction

Posted Jan 10, 2014
A storage locker bought by a man in North Carolina has never been featured on a popular television reality show, but its contents, including some unique documents related to Michael Jordan's college career, are going up for auction. New Jersey-based auction house Goldin Auctions acquired two 1980 North Carolina Tar Heels recruiting letters -- one from assistant Bill Guthridge, and another from coach Dean Smith -- from a consigner.
