I do not believe this to be authentic.  Slowly signed, somebody trying to copy his sig. in the middle there.

I couldn't see evidence of a slow sign but you may be right. I just thought it was the fact that it is a thicker pen used.

I strongly believe this is authentic. If it's a fake, it's a heck of a job. I've seen fakes that are decent attempts, but this would be too good of a job. IMO, Michael Jordan signed this, and I've been looking at MJ sigs for years. But I just want to add, if you love MJ (the basketball player, not the more famous one), collect him because of that. Long-term, he's terrible investment potential, unless it's something unique. He has just signed way too much. The prices for his stuff can't be sustained over time, and he's only, what, 52 - many more signings to come. Besides he's not even the greatest of all-time. That would be Wilt Chamberlain, who holds the NBA record for most records. He dominated like no one before or since. But you can't win titles by yourself.

Hi Elie, sorry I missed your messages, was out. My feeling is that this is not authentic. Always touger to tell on balls etc as it is a different surface but this looks off to me.

thanks Dan. I'm getting alot of mixed opinions about this. Not sure whether to keep for my collection or sell it off. Obviously if its fake ill just sell it as I hate fake items.

sell it? why on earth would you sell a fake? fakes should either be destroyed or used to play with. If you sell it knowing its a fake you are both breaking the law and saddling someone else with a fake item and no better than those who forged the item in the first place I'm afraid.

No I mean sell it saying its not a real signature. I can't think of anything worse than ripping someone off like I got ripped off.

If it is a fake, it's very well done. I'm saying no for now.  Where did you get it? I would send this one in to PSA

You could list on eBay for a stupid price say $20k and then get a PSA DNA Quick opinion. The only company in Oz or NZ are www.authentication.co.nz that I just found on a google search but I have no idea whether they are good or bad
