Another rare piece of Michael Jordan memorabilia has surfaced at auction.

The orange-and-black Stefanel Trieste jersey Jordan wore when he made a backboard-shattering dunk during a 1985 Nike exhibition game in Trieste, Italy is being auctioned off by Sotheby's. Bidding starts at $300,000 and will remain open until Dec. 3.

Jordan's signature appears near the bottom of the jersey along with the date of the game, Aug. 25, 1985.

The Air Jordan 1 sneakers Jordan wore in the same game - complete with a glass shard still embedded in the sole of one of the shoes - were auctioned off in August for $615,000, setting a new world record.
