Holy cow, I think this Jordan rc was real!
Looks like someone got the deal of the century. Upon closeups the seller sent, everything looked correct?

I love his comment in the description
“I am going to keep the Thomas sticker”

Authentic
You think it’s real?
|
i got this from a storage locker sale. i didnt open the pack so i can not guarantee they are real
ya think? |
the 0 feedback is always a good sign that the card is fo real
|
Perhaps
Perhaps this time yes. But 0 feedback was the situation 2 years ago on a raw Jordan rookie sticker that ended up a PSA 9 and a collection of 456 raw T206 cards from a collection I purchased in 2012 on eBay for $6,000(all graded and since sold, wish I still had them)

Obviously the story is so bad it's like satire for typical fakes.
But the OP is right. If that card isn't real, it's one hell of a fake. I can't see the details of the basketball on the lower right of the back, but the many other telltale specifics of a real Jordan all appear good. Any experts want to chime in? |
Hard to say. A first step is to go thru this guide in detail:

That card is definitely fake, it isn’t even a good fake either

Unless you are able to zoom in more on the basketball at the bottom right on the back (and can see if that fails its test), I don't know what legit basis there is for your claim. https://allvintagecards.com/jordan-rookie-card-fakes/ |
Jordan rookie
For me, the red on the top of the card back just doesn't look correct.
|
It certainly does pass the eye test. Wish the close-ups were closer. Just wondering if this auction is ripe for a bait-and-switch.

GD it's tough to catch everything on these. I can't imagine buying one raw nowadays. |
It is all risky as prices rise. I got a fake Jackie Robinson Bond Bread card late last year. I had to side by side it with a genuine one to determine that it was a re-screened halftone print (e.g., a halftone print made from a card rather than from original art). Otherwise it looked good. The seller clearly knew it was a fake too because he refunded me immediately w/o even a return.
|
Looks like he had 4 of them???!!
|
Isn't this a bit, um, odd?
|
100% fake. There is a key part of the card that is there that shouldn't be. It is the absolute definitive way to determine real vs fake. This one fails.
Hope they get their $1500+ back. |
