Boyd, only one or two of the four primary grading companies will grade Star cards, to my knowledge. They're actually NOT difficult to authenticate, but, because PSA refuses to grade or authenticate them, that ended up being the official industry position on operating standard.

What happened was someone created fake Star sets. The story went that it was printed at the original factory, so they would be indistinguishable from originals. However, there were no plates to print from, so thus wasn't really the case. It was explained, but people didn't want to listen, since there were so many AWFUL Jordan fakes that they were scared of good fakes (think super notes).

thats crazy, thanx for sharing! I guess why take a chance, grading fake cards destroys graders credibility kinda sux tho I like the retro look of star cards I got a larry legend but im skeptical to get a raw jordan or barkley rookie because even more fakes have popped up since, some star cards never existed theres a couple jordans with the portland trailblazer logo sellers saying its an era card pretty sure they never existed selling for $40
