Rare Micheal Jordan autograph (damaged or unique)?

Knucklesf05 · 10-23-2024, 08:19 PM

I just picked this up from a local collector along with a ton of other cards. I looked at it quickly in the group and didn't notice the autograph. So when he was signing the card he hit the bottom of the card with the bottom of the "M" but managed to finish and close the autograph. My question is does this take away from the aesthetic of the signature and damage it, or make it unique?

It definitely doesn't make it better. But it doesn't make it too much worse.

It doesn’t take away from the aesthetic too much as the loop is still complete, however it is unique in a negative way, ie I wouldn’t pay full value for it.

AUTO GRADE 8 (ie, not better)

Looks tampered with. It's more damaged than unique. Plus that autograph is showing bleeding already. A shame really.

Common. It's wood.

Some of these have more bleed than others. This one is worse, some are better with no real sign of bleed (yes, this is a different card, same type though)

Only one I could find, looks similar. Also looks like the marker touched the bottom edge of the frame.

Hey! Where did you find the picture of the graded one on the bottom?

It's a very unique lower loop shape on the M specifically. Anything that throws a spanner in the PSA auto grading works I am all for. Moon it.
