WWE star and social media influencer Logan Paul has filed an injunction in Texas district court against Heritage Auctions over the $562,555 purchase of a Michael Jordan-signed section of United Center floor, citing serious concerns about its authenticity. Represented by Litigation Partners Joshua Bernstein and Benjamin Joelson, Paul secured a temporary restraining order to halt the transaction, with a hearing on the temporary injunction scheduled for October 9. Joshua spoke with The New York Times and ESPN, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the collectibles market. The case highlights broader tensions between high-value memorabilia buyers and auction houses over proof of provenance and reliability of third-party certifications.

Josh stated to ESPN: “It goes without saying that authenticity is everything in the collectibles community. Collectors like Logan deserve, and are entitled to, proof of authenticity that holds up under scrutiny and addresses glaring holes and inconsistencies.”
