Link to Counterfeit Jordan article

I remember seeing an article either online or in a magazine about the fake Jordan RC's and how to spot them. Anyone have a link or any info on this?


The reason for asking is I had a guy come into my store yesterday and show me the new Jordan RC he just bought. I have never owned one, but when I looked at it, it had a real fuzzy looking logo on it, which I remember was one of the ways to tell if it was fake. Also, the name on the front was not sharp, looked like it was fuzzy as well. I told him, I suspected it was counterfeit, but I could tell he didnt want to hear it. The guy went on to say the seller (at a local flea market) had two others that he was going to send in and get graded, which pretty much confirmed my fears of it being counterfeit as this one was well centered and had four sharp corners on it, so why not have it graded as well.

Normally, I think many people deserve to get taken since their greed allows them to think they can get a nice Jordan RC for $300, but this is an older guy and he sells his cards out of his shop from time to time and Im afraid he is going to try and resell this to another unsuspecting person for more money and would like to end the cycle if I can show him proof it is counterfeit.

IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

  • This article reminds me of a guy at a local flea market a several years ago (1993 or so). He had a 100 ct acrylic case full of Jordan RCs. He was selling them for $50 a pop, and people were gobbling them up. The next week his booth was empty. I never saw him before or after that. Because of that experience, I've shied away from the Jordan RC. I've just recently started shopping for it again.
