86-87 Michael Jordan Rookie

So not well rehearsed in sports cards & how to spot fakes, but i found this guy and curious what people think.

After watching many YouTube videos and comparing photos with graded copies I’ve came to my conclusion but it’s always good to have an outside opinion as well.

From the photos would you consider it a reprint or a authentic original 86-87 Michael Jordan Rookie






This looks like a @hershey question

Almost impossible to tell from slightly blurry photos unfortunately. Some things look good some don’t. Is the price on it in line with authentic sales?

I own a real one and a fake one, and even in hand it’s difficult to tell. The largest difference is how they feel. The re-prints are glossy, while the real one feels like actual cardboard.

For a card this expensive, I’d personally just err on the side of caution and go for a graded copy. Simply for the piece of mind lol

I’m going to check it out in person without bringing the cash because yet his price is low I think(for it’s condition) He’s still asking a lot for a raw card that very possibly could be worth a dollar :sweat_smile:
I read that article and damn it’s hard to tell the difference between a fake a real. Comparing the photos I have I feel like it leans more on the real side but then I’m like damn this should grade a 8 or at least a 7. Now I’m like “to good to be true”
:thinking:
I guess I’ll have a better idea seeing it in person

it looks like the front picture matches the fake in the guide.

I’m not well versed in sports card - does the colour vary like it does in pokemon?

I’m actually not well versed either when it comes to sport cards I just thought the guide would be helpful lol.

Yea I just read that article, makes me happy how easy it is to spot fakes in Pokémon Vs Vintage Sports :sweat_smile:

“Too good to be true” seems like the operative phrase here. FWIW, from the outside looking in you’re right to be exercising caution

There are space jam trading cards? Wouldn’t this belong in the side collection section?
