Authenticity is Everything
How do these Michael Jordan signed basketball cards look?
I was thinking of sending these in to JSA/BGS, but i figured i would get the communities opinion first! Thanks guys, newbie here! Derrick

I'm pretty sure he only signed upper deck cards and only does it at upper deck signings aka anything else should be avoided unless it's an upper deck card with upper deck sticker

That's not true, he will sign about anything if he actually signs. But, there are forgers that do Jordan better then Jordon does Jordan. The fake have become real they are so good. I would not buy anything that isn't from a pack or sold by UD.

This is certainly true for pack pulled cards, he ONLY does signings with Upper Deck. At least since the early 1990's, but what about the in-person aspect of it? How does the signature itself look? Comparing these to known examples, they look spot on IMO.

Read my response below! He signs in person!

Jordan has to be the most forged celebrity in my lifetime, and many forgers seem to be damned good with him. Unless you have no questions about the source or get it yourself, I wouldn't even look at an autograph that wasn't sold by UDA. Just my opinion though.

100% agree with your opinion!

Hi. Names Luis and I'm new to this site but excited to hear others stories of collecting! I started at an early age in the late 80's chasing autographs and stopped when I went away to college. I'm getting back into the hobby but not putting all the effort and hours it takes to get autographs however I'm a little reluctant with so many fakes and the necessity to get everything authenticated! Especially when it would cost 6 figures at the least to do so with everything I have!
Anyways, to answer your question they look good to me as they are early cards except the last one which I would not bother due to the below or above comment about UD. My question would be when and how did you obtain them? I'm assuming not in person otherwise you wouldn't be asking!
As far as Jordan and his signings with UD. I believe he didn't sign a contract with them til after his first or second championship! Jordan did sign autographs before UD came along and still does at Golf Tourneys however he is extremely tough to get! My suggestion is never by an UD auto without matching stickers or coa as well! Now I wouldn't go as far to say avoid all autographs of his because he only signs for UD as I would have to dig around but have 5-8 signed magazines,photos, jersey that were obtained in person before his deal with UD and he would sign at various Golf Tourneys even still while with UD! I do have one photo that was a Xmas present in the mid to late 90's that is clearly fake! It's probably the worst fake autograph of his I've ever seen. The last picture is the fake, just has to be!
The other two were signed in person! Are beautifully framed! The one of just his face is a photo from '93 that if I remember correctly is a short-print and is signed by the photographer! If you'd like a picture of the jersey just lmk as it is authenticated as it was purchased from a seeker I'm still in contact with!
My suggestion would be to go psa but that's just my preference. Unfortunately as I've read on another thread discussing whose best...and I wasn't able to post yet...I've heard some companies are just trained employees with no experience! Just what a worker for one of the companies told a person whom was trying to get an authentication of an item! As their item was a facsimile signed ball and they saved them from wasting their money! So I respect the honesty but have my reservations. And no I don't work for a company! I spent my entire childhood meeting athletes of every sport, actors/actresses, etc....I've probably seen over 15,000 different signatures!
Honestly if its not signed in person or comes from someone I trust...I pass! To much money, time, etc is wasted! And it's not worth the headache!
Good luck either way! I look forward to hearing of others experiences and seeing things I've never seen before! - Attachments: No photo uploads here

Actually after further looking at the Jordan I may change my mind about my previous answer. Last one I definitely say isn't real. And after looking at mine and trying to add pics...which only added the fake one...the last name just looks iffy especially the first one.

Thnks for all the opinions guys, it's pretty cool all the help you can receive here! And I would love to see some of the autos you have authenticated Sports N Stuff...

Ill get you a pic tomorrow! The only thing I have authenticated is a jersey as everything else was signed in person and I don't plan on selling them. Ill include the others as well to help you make up your mind. I had a 90's team ball comeback fake...I made a trade with someone at the time however every auto besides Jordan is consistent with every other player I've gotten in person. So I was surprised when everyone was deemed fake. I've got a team signed Jordan jersey as well that I need to get authenticated but it costs so much however is an item on the top of the list of needing to be done!

Sorry...super long day and feeling like I'm getting sick. Here's 4 in person autos. All early 90's! Ill find the jersey tomorrow that's authenticated.
