Are there any scams inre the 1986 Jordan UDA

[hofautos]

Who is familiar with the 1986 Michael Jordan UDA?
How many were produced?
Were they all encapsulated by PSA (it seems all the ones i see are)?
Are there any known fakes (uda with sticker and encapsulated)?

I have opportunity to pick one up for $1500 which seem $500 to $1000 less than going price...

this isnt the exact one, but one like it

The card above was signed in person and graded by PSA/DNA. There was a /23 autographed buyback that was inserted in packs a few years back. They were not graded, but they came with a COA from UDA.

Why do i see several on ebay showing them with UDA COA?

see this one for example:

Because the owners sent them to PSA/DNA to have them authenticated again and in encased to give people further secuirty?
.. Plus the ones you are linking are not the pack pulled versions but one sold via the site. That would make up the price difference with the pack pulled /23 ones that have sold in 10k range.

Mike, you can send cards through UD to have signed. They do the full UD process on them, this seller (like most) also had PSA/DNA slab it. Another common source of these particular cards is at Jordan's basketball camps kids get one item signed and authenticated by UD. No joke, people send underprivileged kids (as a charity thing) and have them get a Jordan RC signed as the only trade off. I would question where yours is coming from as they have been very hot on Ebay lately (I've been watching). That said the UD holo plus coa and a re-sealed psa case seems to be going a little far to pull off a 'fake'. If you want shoot me a scan and I'll let you know what I think. IMO the current Ebay sales for this card are going to drop significantly (as it is a potentially endless supply) but your price is very good. And kudos to MJ who always takes his time when doing these, 80% of the time they look amazing.
