🖋️ Polarizing Jordan autograph cards sell on eBay
Some call it genius, others say it's wrong to transfer an MJ auto onto a 1986 Fleer rookie.
The people behind the cards are Mike and Shelley Stasik, a married couple hoping to grow their family. Entering their fourth IVF cycle, with the costs mounting, the Stasiks — who have a huge Jordan collection — wanted to figure out a way to make money without having to sell their best items.
One day, Mike saw a Kendall Brown Panini Prizm card that was graded by Beckett as having an authentic autograph.
“I thought, 'So many people can’t afford to buy an on-rookie card auto of Michael Jordan, why not make them?’” Stasik said.
