    This is wild. I have a signed version of the first pic.

    When I has 13 I sent it to the Bulls corporate offices and attn Michael Jordan with self addressed stamped return shipping. About four or five months later I went and got the mail and there is was. It is on my wall and I am looking at it right now. With it came this white piece of paper that said compliments of Air Jordan.

    Some day I may send it in to get authenticated to see if it was MJ or someone signing for him.

    Good luck with your auto pics.

    In my opinion, those are not authentic Michael Jordan autographs.

    The part that makes me think they are not is the serieled numbered to 5000. I doubt this un known company could have afforded to have MJ sign that many to distribute.

    I just pulled mine off the wall and the Michael is much longer and a much cleaner signature. The other problem is the fading sharpie.

    Navarro is the resident auto expert so I doubt he is wrong.

    Good luck.

    All of those signatures are bogus....The joke of the so called COA is that it contains no contact information, so you couldn't even find them if you wanted to...

    Sorry

    I have to say - I'm not excited about those autos - and I stink at this.

    Honest mistake but one that comes down to a little research but the bright side is that you've learned from it. The generic COAs and print runs of 5,000 are other big red flags besides the signatures looking bad.

    I agree...One of the dis-services the hobby made at one time was perpetuating the thought that if an item had a COA, it had to be good. (Rather than trying to educate the public that a so called COA is really only as good of the reputation of the issuer)

    The other thing that cracks me up is the thought that a no name company such as "CSC Authenticated" would have the bankroll to have Jordan & Pippen each to sign 5000 pictures....

    Besides the autos not quite looking right I would think Upper Deck would be the only company selling Jordan autos during the time frame of 6 time champs. I haven't heard of Jordan signing with any other company since he went with UD and have no idea what he mightve signed before this

    This poster is correct, Jordan has been exclusive with Upper Deck for a long, long time. I have 2 UDA Jordan autos and they look different than those plaques. If you want to purchase an authentic Jordan auto, I would get one that comes with a COA & matching hologram from Upper Deck. And you are correct in saying that some certificates of authenticity are bad. If you want to get into collecting autographed memorabilia, I would stick to items that come with COA & matching holograms/stickers from the following companies: Upper Deck, Steiner, Mounted Memories, Tri-Star, GTSM, PSA/DNA, and JSA.
