I recently picked up a blind collection, there are tons of various sports autographed items but this Michael Jordan caught my eye. Any help would be appreciated.

PSA uses a very similar orange N4 label on items they deem as Questionable Authenticity; however, I've only seen that when referring to grading sports cards - I don't know if PSA/DNA does the same thing for items that fail autograph authentication. So, I don't know if that's actually what the label is from.

Again, I can only speak with regards to grading cards - but they don't put the sticker on the actual item. Cards are placed in a semi-rigid holder (like a stiff plastic sleeve), and then the label is stuck to the the sleeve.
Similarly, the Jordan autograph above appears to be in a plastic sleeve of some sort, and I assume the N4 sticker is on top of that and not affixed to the surface of the photo.
