help with 85 nike promo pack

tonylags

I have an unopened pack; everyone I've seen has a blank back; mine has a Jordan back. Card does promo, not for resale. I heard stories about fakes? Is mine real? any idea of value? How long is pack grading at PSA and what level would I need to submit at?

Post some pics if you can. Some of the fakes Jordan’s have telltale signs on the back of the card.

Skyline cropping is another give away/m. There’s a website that shows it.

This Youtuber opened two sealed sets and turns out one was real the other fake. If you can read the back of your Jordan then you can compare it to his real & fake cards at about the 12:45 mark.

Some of the fakes have Michel Jordan on back instead of Michael. Some fakes will have a line along the top length of the card over his name. Fakes might have a yellowish tint to the card stock.
Your card may have none of these and could still be fake but you’d have to open the set to see the front to find out. Hope these help but still post pics if you want.

Thanks for comments, I'm thinking real, here is a back pic

I would be concerned. I have only seen the blank back card on the back...Also, I think the MJ is card #2 and that is where it is in the sequence (at least in the few I have opened). IMHO.

Hard to tell. Seem the fakes have brighter white backs compared to the originals. Look at the type, if it’s fuzzy and not sharp it’s a copy.

my guess is more value, unopened, would you agree?

Will PSA grade these? Any idea of declared value?

Judging by just from the back of the card itself, it does look legit but there are a couple red flags overall; one that there isn’t that blank card there which IIRC came with the set and two the plastic doesn't have the small round holes(or maybe it does on front?) like with this one on ebay

Honestly I don’t think you can lean one way or another without seeing the actual front of the Jordan. I also don’t think that PSA would grade the set if that was what you were asking in your last comment. I’ve never seen a graded set before.
