It's hard to understand why Michael Jordan, who starred in the iconic 1996 film Space Jam, hasn't held onto his TuneSquad uniform as a treasured keepsake all these years. But alas, one lucky — and wealthy — fan stands to benefit from his negligence.

Profiles in History plans to open an auction on his uniform Oct. 1, Entertainment Weekly reports. It shows "signs of wear and minor staining," which makes sense, because Jordan played hard against the Monstars. His jersey and matching shorts are expected to go for about $10,000 to $15,000.

Scoring the uniform is a surefire way to be the coolest kid at the eventual sequel's midnight premiere. But until that day comes, friendly reminder: The best way to kill time is by perusing the Space Jam website and poring over Rolling Stone's glorious account of how the legendary website came to be in the early days of the information superhighway.
