Hi Ricardo,

It looks likely real to me but there are remarkable Jordan forgeries. I'd get an online opinion from Beckett for $10.

I don’t think this is real.   Very confident it’s not I would avoid.  Agree spend $10 before purchasing for another opinion

I don't like it. Stops and starts and has no natural flow for me

Thanks, Justin and Dan. It still looks OK to me, similar to this UD 1985 Jordan Rookie of the Year ball. Dan didn't like the speed, at least. What don't you like Justin?

I don’t think this is real. I think there are unnatural starts and stops in the Jordan portion of the sig.

After the “M” is off it is a flow issue and the shape of the J is off plus the “O” is too big and off despite looking like the UDA ball I agree.  It’s a good fake.  There are tons like this on ebay, most with a VS or an Inperson Authentics COA.

Thanks, everyone.

I should have looked on eBay. I thought it had a decent chance, checked known genuine earlier examples, and felt it was in range.

Ricardo, I'd pass on this with the other opinions you got and save the $10 on a BAS review.

Steve, it's so crazy to think ppl spend hours upon hours thousands of sheets of paper and a bunch of sharpies to fool and deceive ppl for an autograph! Don't ppl have real jobs anymore, work hard contribute to society, save, retire, and enjoy life anymore? So sad...thank you again for the advice very much appreciated

Ricardo,

Most people who forge and sell forgeries are sociopaths who don't think there's anything wrong with it—it is their real job. They think that community sites like ours and reputable third-party authenticators are the bad guys. They're vile garbage who commit theft by fraud every day for a living.
