Upper Deck can't confirm the authenticity of most autographs they issued pre-2002 I believe. Do you know when this card was issued?

No idea issue date the coa card looks like early 90s but the hologram looks newer style. In early 90s upper deck used different holograms

Completely fraudulent item. I managed all the signings with MJ from 1994-2003 and UD did not have anything but their own product signed. The other thing about this is that the certificate used in this image was taken out of the mix sometime in the late 90's but the problem with it is that the old holograms had STAMPED numbers on them not laser printed. Also the font is completely wrong. Even if it were a camp issued cert from then we did not even start certing his camp stuff till 1995/96 and the McNall cert was never used for those.

The 3rd picture looks like it has stamped numbers to me.

Thats exacty what I thought the holgram doesnt look right to me. I didnt know they could forge upperdeck autos

On the hologram it has upperdeck logo in background how would they reproduce this . This could be a huge problem if these flood market. This was bought at frank n sons in CA

I know UD holograms have been and are being forged, so this comes as no surprise. Steve looks like he knows what he's talking about as well, so I'd be cautious with this one, if not totally avoid it.

I was gonna ask why Upper Deck would have Jordan sign a Fleer Ultra card and then put their holograms all over it. IDK. Don't know Jordan.

They used different methods but here are images of the ones that were laser printed, then stamped. The laser printed can be erased I believe since it is printing on top of substrate or they can remove it with a solution. There were TONS of these made in the early/mid 90's when we were doing Hero's of Baseball signings with all the old timers for UDA/UDC 1992-94
