Seems legit to me but can never be too careful with this one. Opinions? Thanks!

    Without seeing it in hard, hard to tell. Get a loupe and look at the ball on the back and the bull's eyeballs.

    From the pic provided it looks good.
    The fleer banner is two colored, and the 27.2 has the decimal point which are both good signs.

    gotcha. Thanks. I haven't bought it yet so I unfortunately can't do that. If I could, what would I be looking for?

    Read this before buying a raw Jordan rookie card.

    I saw this lot went for about 500 and I have to admit I was tempted but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I hope it turns out well for you!
    It never leaves you...

    For me, the 27.2 is the #1 flag to look for. Here that looks legit.

    Happy you guys helped me. Picked this up in a lot with a raw magic/Erving/bird and patrick Ewing rookie. So pumped about the results.

    what he said. these are the two dead giveaways. Also, just saying, if it is OC like that, likely a real indication as well. most fakes have near perfect centering

    well done!

    Looks good. 3 things I look for are - 2 different yellows on the Fleer logo, a "." between the 27 and 2 on his scoring average on the back, and the Bulls eyes should be well delineated where you can make them out.
