Honestly i dont know much about MJ's signature but the M and J look pretty accurate except for the long extension of the J. i would compare some of the autograph cards that come directly from packs to this autograph and conclude for yourself. but for COA's i would never pay attention to them. Any one selling autographs can easily print them and they really hold no value or proof relating to the item. Never let a COA convince you or motivate you to buy an autograph.

you can look on ebay for authentic straight from the pack autographs by him. just go to ebay and search michael jordan auto and im pretty sure a good amount of authentic straight from pack autos will come up. if i were you, if i wanted an authentic mj autograph i would just buy the straight from the pack autos off ebay. you can actually find a couple for around 300. at least you will have peace of mind knowing its authentic! good luck!

Long time Jordan collector and I feel this wrong.
1st of all you can see on the end of the M that the signer automatically went to curve to the inside then they has changed their mind and curved to the outside. (Should be on the out)

Secondly as previously mentioned the J is too long. That leaves the curve on the J to go up way to high before coming into the O.

Thirdly there is no sign on the O.

That's strike 3 to me.

Also you know what's funny abou the Coa?
It says it has been authenticated by a 3 man panel.
And then they say it was signed in person. Lol if it was signed in person why would they have a 3 man panel look at it?
