Because Jordan rookie cards are some of the most sought after cards today, the industry is plagued by fakes and reprints, especially online. The best way to avoid buying a Jordan rookie that is not authentic is to pull it from a pack yourself or to buy a card graded by a reputable grading company. Both options are expensive and even boxes/packs can be tampered with. Dave and Adam's Card World has a nice article (albeit dated) that provides good information for deciding if a 1986-87 Fleer Basketball box is legitimate. As interest in basketball continues to build, there is no reason to think that Jordan's rookies will not continue to increase in value.
