Thirty years ago today, Space Jam premiered in theaters.
As you may expect, Michael Jordan in his prime teaming up with with Bugs Bunny and the gang to save the world was a big deal. And what happens when a pop culture even is a global phenomenon? They make merch. And lots of it.
Space Jam was no exception to that reality. In fact, it’s a prime example. They made everything. We aren’t just talking T-shirts and jerseys. There were Space Jam piggy banks, blankets, and trading cards, to name a few. Of coure, we all know about the iconic Air Jordan 11s.
To mark the 30th anniversary of Space Jam, we scoured eBay to round up 30 of the wacky, rare, and valuable vintage items that were released back in 1996. Did you even any? Are you a vintage collector still on the hunt? Are there any great ones that we missed? Check our the assortment, below.
