NSR - Read this the other day and found it interesting… more than 2000 Jordan rookies were submitted to PSA’s grading service last year and nearly 21% of them turned out to be fake (reprints)…

Now…to me…it makes me think of their process of determining what makes a fake vs. a real card. I’m terms of shoes…what do we use to determine what’s real vs. fake?

Paperstock, ink, aging…what else? And that’d for a 2D printed image.

For sneakers it’s…materials, construction, placement, etc. and that’s for a 3D hand-constructed product.

I don’t know if I’m really expressing myself fully here - but thinking about how many fake Jordan cards there are out there vs. how many fake Jordan shoes out there…makes my head hurt..

Shoutout to @ermsy for the dope card art!
