A baseball signed by Michael Jordan and his teammates on a youth baseball team in 1976 is available for auction.

TMZ Sports reported Tuesday that Goldin Auctions, which has placed the ball up for bid, expects it to sell for around $50,000.

Jordan printed his name as "Mike Jordan" on a baseball that lists the club as the "1976 CHAMPS." The squad competed in the Babe Ruth League in Wilmington, North Carolina, posting an 11-3 record en route to the title.

The auction includes a letter of authenticity from head coach Richard Neher, a roster list and a picture of the team.

A similar piece that featured a signature from New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter as an eight-year-old recently sold for $36,000, per TMZ Sports.

Jordan memorabilia prices have skyrocketed since ESPN aired the documentary series The Last Dance about the 1990s Chicago Bulls dynasty, which showcased MJ to a new generation.

He was 13 when he signed this baseball with his youth baseball team. He's now 57.

Jordan left the Bulls for over a year to play minor league baseball in the Chicago White Sox organization amid his basketball career. He won six NBA championships in his two stints with the Bulls.
