I think you are spot on with your conclusion. I often sit and think about the "value" of these cards we collect. For dealers I know it's a little bit different, they are making a living out of turning an actual dollars and cents profit...so the value is a little more concrete.

But for the rest of us collectors...the value really comes in the amount of joy they bring us. And your Jordan (fake or not) connects you to your dad and a time when he wanted to buy and give you a MICHAEL JORDAN ROOKIE CARD. And that is priceless in my opinion. So yes, hang on to it and enjoy it.
