Download and make sure to check out the included images that are close ups from several of the key reference points to check out.

On to Michael (MJ).

Of course not everyone has a real Jordan card to compare to. But if you can just find yourself another Bulls card from 86 or 87 the color schemes and the card itself will match up to a real card quite well and give you a great reference. This is also true for an 1979 or 1980 OPC Oilers common, 84 Topps Dolphins card.

So how do you spot this? The front of the card -
1. The Fleer Logo - You will see that it is the easiest thing to spot with the naked eye, though not a guarantee so look at other things as well.

A. The turn- You will see down on the banner a darker orange than the yellow area that "Premier" is printed in. There are fakes with a darker orange so use other guidelines too.

B. Also notice the red crown. On the real card the points are quite sharp, the word "Fleer" is sharp and doesn't seem to have the fuzzier edges. This card is also in a different font. The real one is quite sharp with sharp corners on the letters vs. a more "bubbly" type of font. The color is also a much more bold red.

2. The red and blue color on the border should have a definite separation. Notice the fake card has a "blurry" effect. Also notice how deep the color is on the real card and how bold the colors are.

3. The "Chicago" on M.J.'s jersey - Notice how blurry 'Chicago' is, it's sometimes noticed on the fakes that the dot over the letter "I" looks touching the name as opposed to the real card where there is a noticeable separation of this dot. It also will appear that the loop in the letter "o" is closed. As if that weren't enough, you can still read on...

4. The Name plate - Notice the difference in the color blue here. almost a dark blue vs. a baby blue. You'll also notice that the name, team, position all is more "blurry" than a real card. The font is more "bubbly" on the fake than on the real and the corners of the letters aren't near as sharp on the fake. (similar to the "Fleer Crown in #1A)

5. The black borders - You will see This same technique, will work on all but the most sophisticated fakes. If you have a loupe/magnifying glass, take a look at the black printed lines. In printing, ink is laid on a plate and then put onto the stock, it is not "printed with dots" like most consumer printers do it. (dot- matrix bubble- jet). What you will notice under the magnifying glass is that the black line is not a solid black line, but rather a bunch of small black dots put together to make a line. If it's not a solid, it's gotta be a print. Therefore it's a fake. A dead giveaway.

With all this said, we still haven't touched on Michael Jordan shoes and Fake Air Jordans...

Air Jordans are named after the American basketball legend 'His Heir-ess', Michael Jordan. It was the first in the series to hit the market and take the public sentiment by storm. To say Fake Air Jordans were a run away success is an understatement. You will of course see looking at the way people were prepared to pay steep penalties, ignoring NBA rules, rather than having to play matches without wearing them. Of course that was probably another Nike endorsement when they wore them, but nonetheless. It was the bright ColorWays in red, white and black that initially caused all pf this euphoria about Air Jordans, which was also the reason why the legendary player himself dared to break all those NBA rules. When Air Jordan 1's was introduced again in 2001, it reinstated the sneakers back at Number 1. Given the penchant for innovation, the creators of Nike Air have done it again when the introduced Jordan Air Force 1 Fusion. It was a hybrid shoe made by merging the craftsmanship and vibrancy of Fake Air Jordans and basic designs of Air Force 1 on the latter's proven platform. For once, it is easy to tell why the makers of Nike have been trying hard to brand two different sneakers into one. They actually went flying off the shelves. By combining Air Jordans and Air Force 1, Nike has hit two birds with one stone. Air Force 1 Fusion is a definite boom for those who were caught with having to either choose from Air Jordans or Air Force Ones. It might even interest you to know why Nike Air was so popular since a few decades back. It is the same reason that drives Nike which is playing behind Air Force 1 Fusion and Air Jordans fusions. No one needs told how great an impact the color of the shoes can also have on their decision making when purchasing air jordans.
In 2010, they will be coming out with a purple, lime green pink orange or "Roy G Biv" style Jordans. This is to quench the desire of a few of the players who have come to love rainbow colors.
