Default Please tell me this is a reprint or a fake!

I purchased a few boxes of cards at a garage sale awhile back. I finally got around to looking through a few of them when I came across this. I don't know if there is a way to verify if it is authentic with the damage or not. I have always wanted to stumble across a huge card when sorting garage sale stuff but wishing it was in slightly better condition. Thanks for looking, Brandon.

At least it's the 1/1 die cut parallel. Very rare.

Willing to be some one had this card as a kid and was dumb enough to massacre it like that.

Kevin Burge could have gotten that to be a PSA 10.

With BGS grading standards, that is an 8.

Yup that looks too be real, what the hell did they do to it.
I actually think it would be cool to have a BGS 1.

this probably happened back when this card was worth a dollar or two.

Sorry OP, but this has me laughing my arse off.

Crazy to come across that card, in that condition, in this current time of Jordan craziness.

Honestly, what could that bring at auction on eBay?
Raw-$50
Psa/bgs auth- $100 to $125

I mean, it has no borders, so probably. As others have mentioned, have it graded as authentic and it'll still sell for a decent amount.

I think you'd be suprised how many people would be interested in this. Great conversation piece! I'd say it's a great find.

When I first mentioned sending it in I was really just joking. Now I am considering trying to get it authenticated. It would be my first submission through PSA. How do I request authentication only?

Go for a grade. I've never seen a psa 1. It would be cool to have a jordan rookie psa 1. Seriously.

Exactly....a PSA 1 would be rare than an 8 or 9!
