Authenticated vs. Raw Value

UDA (Upper Deck Authenticated) items command the highest premiums and are the gold standard for Jordan. PSA/DNA and JSA also add substantial value. Unauthenticated Jordan items are extremely risky due to rampant forgery — he is the single most forged athlete in the hobby.

Reference ranges can become stale and do not establish what a specific item is worth. Verify current completed sales for the same signer, item type, condition and documentation before relying on a range. 101 Pre-Screen is not an appraisal.
