Here is a UDA Michael Jordan signed Rare Air book, one of Jordan’s earliest signings with Upper Deck.  This was number 190 out of 2500 of these signed books.  Though this one is somewhat different than the OP, there are similarities...such as the autograph being done in one continuous stroke.  This is much different from his later UDA signings.

I'm curious, can someone explain to me why MJ's autograph costs a damn fortune!??? That man is still alive, and his sigs sells for more than a lot of deceased icons...and they're not even hard to find, a tonne of UDA in auctions *scratches head*

It looks a little off to me.  I have a couple of Jordan baseballs I can share once quarantine is over.

This discussion is a little old, but thought I'd still chime in.

The baseball in question looks good to me and I think Beckett got it right.

Jordan would sometimes sign like this during the early 1990's. Most of these 'rushed, single stroke continuation' signatures are seen in 1993 through 1994. Jordan joined UDA in 1992. His UDA RareAir book came out in 1993, and you'll find this style of autograph in many of those (as someone has posted here).

While it is atypical of what we're used to seeing, it does appear to be authentic for the period.

Legit Jordan autographs have always been steep... now they've gone crazy after ESPN ran the Last Stand.
