Because many of you here have an outstanding ability to spot a fake I was hoping you might take a peek at this one for me.

You are good. All of the 5 key signs needed are there.

The fakes have gotten much better recently, and clear all these classic points. There are still subtleties to pick up on though. They even have them in psa holders that look scary close to being real. This one looks good to me though.
Declared: REAL
+1. These are the things to look for to rule out the obvious fakes. Good luck.

I am not aware of these still not being the key things to look for, and if they pass the test for these markers I feel pretty confident in the card. What other items do you look for outside of these when evaluating this card? Thank you in advance for the help.

I am with KC, what are the other things to look for? The Jordan is on my bucket list so I am interested.
I'm happy to help look at one anytime someone is considering buying one. Last week I notified someone that had built a very popular high-end re-packed breaking product that he had purchased a fake psa 9 Jordan. He had no idea but, agreed with me that it had too many things off and was very gracious that I pointed it out.
Here is a fake that is done very well:
Why do you think it's fake?

Looks real to me.

The slab is fake too. Look closely at the font of Michael Jordan (white font in blue area) on the front. And the "Chcago Bulls" text on the back above the logo.
They've gotten really good at creating the fakes. The common scam that is going around, they will find a high-end card on eBay and message the seller to trade a psa 8 or 9 Jordan RC. The scammer will even offer to ship first. Because most people can't tell these are fake cards in fake slabs. The serial # and bar code even checks out because they copied it from known real cards.
Soo... No one?
I'm not an expert on flip fonts, but I know there are guys here that would be able to point out some flaws.
Here's a couple threads from other forums on fake Jordans in fake PSA slabs:

It's funny, some guys here are very quick to point out fake flips/labels/cases etc... But now no one is to be found lol.
Thanks for the great info Davis!

Just to be clear, the scammers are making fake PSA flips and holders. And they are getting very good at it. This is not a case of fake Jordan's being slabbed by PSA.
