How would you feel if one of your old love letters was up for auction, open for the world to see? Better yet, would you even remember who you wrote it to?

One of the most unique love letters ever to hit the auction block is now up for bid—a handwritten love letter from an 18-year-old Michael Jordan, penned in May 1981 while he was a student at Laney High School in Wilmington, NC. Addressed to his then-girlfriend, Laquetta Robinson, the two-page letter is filled with heartfelt sentiments, as a young Jordan professes his love while making it clear that basketball will always be part of the equation.

This rare piece of sports and personal history is featured in the Lelands Winter Classic Auction, running through March 15.
