Kind of "off" topic but for what it is worth. Several years ago I purchased a large collection from a Las Vegas VIP who had been collecting for over 20 years. Was mostly boxing posters and programs but he did have some autographs. Among them was a box of Michael Jordan signed baseballs. He obviously knew Jordan as he showed me photos of he and Jordan playing golf, playing cards etc. Didn't think twice about the signed baseballs. when I looked at them they were a MESS. I asked why and he said he would he would sign them on the golf cart between playing holes of golf (smile), Was 100% sure they were ok but looked like a 80 year old man signed them. Could not sell them and ended up giving them to a little league team for practice balls after I X'ed out the signatures.
My uncle did bodyguard work for Jordan. I have close to 30 Jordan autographs. I have 1 on a Mitchell and Ness rookie jersey. Kind of sloppy but signed in front of me. I was told it wouldn't pass PSA. But same thing; looked like an 80 year old signed them...
