Opinions on this Magic Johnson Auto card

Earvin32 · 08-23-2013, 11:47 AM

I have a quest for a 1992-1994 Magic Johnson auto card from hoops or skybox. I won't buy any ones from the Phillipines. What is your opinion on this card and auto. It does not look right to me. Magic did sign differently in the early 90's. I was not aware of an all star auto card either from Hoops.

It could be an in person auto from Magic. I only question the J in his signature, but I'm not claiming it's not legit. That card however wasn't something Hoops had Magic sign for their products. Magic's first auto was the 93-94 Hoops dual with Larry Bird.

With Magic signing so much now, I'd still prefer something with a legit COA...many of his newer pack pulled auto cards are getting cheaper by the day.

The seller seems to have a lot of signed cards from the past. I would be very careful buying anything from him

I know the seller has been known for selling a lot of test cards too. They are auto versions of cards with the signatures missing. Usually chrome cards. I don't know if they are real or not.

Anyone have any places to look for a early 90's Magic Auto? I want a PSA certified one. I asked around at the national earlier in the month but no luck.

From my research, his earlier autos had more wiggles in the last name after the J. This one has a straight line at the end instead of the wiggles.

Ok...after looking at the other items this seller is pushing off as legit besides the Magic...I change my opinion and wouldn't expect it to be legit.

#1. His Jordan Star Co reprint auto is horribly fake.
#2. I'm seeing the same pen pressure used on all of his autos.
#3. He's got a Scoreboard stamp

STAY FAR, FAR away from ANYTHING this seller is listing.
