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?

It passes every visible test from this site (which is well-known for its accurate article about counterfeit '52 Topps Mantles and other subjects). Most of the info there is seconded at other sites that get into such detail about it, including the one linked just above me.

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.

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.

You're right. The red there looks too light.

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.
