Thoughts on authenticity of Bulls team ball? Comes with COA

Wanted to get thoughts on this Bulls team ball...Pippen signature seems legit, MJ is a bit off but has COA. Thoughts?

That COA looks like it's from a closed down department store. Enough to make me steer clear.

Apparently it was a collectable store in a mall that is no longer in business. What do you think about the actual MJ signature?

Wait for some more feedback, but Jordan is likely the most forged autograph on the planet over the past quarter century, and many people will steer clear of anything of his that is not guaranteed by Upper Deck. He's had a deal with them for a long time.

I would agree with Rich. It is also not uncommon for somebody to pick up a 93/94 Bulls autographed ball (when Jordan was off playing baseball) for a $100 and slap a fake Jordan on a panel in hopes of flipping for $500.

I saw this happen with Lakers balls in the early/mid 90s. Team balls in those years were cheap (there wasn't much demand for Elden Campbell or Sedale Threatt). I saw legit team balls with obvious Magic forgerys on them.

I would stay clear.
