Beckett has been grading the Star cards for quite some time now. They are the only major grading company that will grade them. They had Steve Taft from Star Co. come in and train them on the cards.

The major thing to look for on the Star #101 Jordan RC is:

1. Rebounds acronym should be "REB" and not "Reb" that is the first tell-tale sign of a legit or fake card.

2. The line separating the stats from the averages should go almost all the way into the black border surrounding the stats/info area. There should be very little space between them.

3. The overall font used on the back of the card. Should be kind of slightly italicized. You really need a legit card to compare it to see the differences.

4. Back should be a light pink.

5. Most cards are off-centered. If you see one that has perfect centering or near-perfect centering, use caution.

I saved hi-res pics of mine so that I could compare it to other ones I ran across later on. I've physically held 3 others outside of mine that were real and the rest I've come across have been fakes/after-prints.

This is excellent information, THANK YOU! This will be a good thread to reference down the line...


Ping, I will PM you.
