Thanks for the info...for what it is worth the individual I obtained this jersey from claimed he has had the jersey since the late 80's.....so go figure....again thanks for the info.....is it worth sending to MEARS to have authenticated...and would it at least receive an A5 grade?

Just glancing at the price scale you would be looking at a minimum of 500.00 just to get it graded, probably more because it is Michael Jordan.

How can you tell the difference between screen print and vinyl pressed?

Screen printing prints a semi liquid plastic ink into the garment, which permeates the fabric. It is then Cured in extreme heat and becomes a solid. This is guaranteed to outlast any textile.

Vinyl is a sticker that is presses on with an iron or heat press. It is basically a sticker glued onto the shirt.

Vinyl is good for teams or sports mostly, a good Vinyl will last about 5 to 6 months of regular wear, where screen printing should in most cases last 2 to 3 years before any major changes, or 50 to 100 washes.

Here is the screen capture in case you cannot view it.

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

Also from the pictures you posted it looks like the jersey has been washed/roughed up since it was sold back in 2011.

The only way you can view it most likely is through worthpoint. I have provided the link.

Also here are the pictures. You can clearly tell from the tail tagging that this is your jersey.

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

Last post on heat pressed or screened..lol...it is very hard to tell other than the BULLS does not appear to feel as thick as the numbers on the jersey...hope that helps

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

Just to clarify I checked the BULLS on the jerseys and it is def not nearly as thick as the numbers on the jersey...not knowing a lot about basketball jerseys it would appear that the BULLS is screened on and the numbers are heat pressed vinyl based on the feel and thickness of both

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

I just checked the BULLS and my mistake it IS screened on....I felt both the numbers then the BULLS and the numbers are much thicker and heat pressed vinyl...the BULLS is thinner and screened on....as far as the same jersey selling back in 2011 from a seller in France then if this is the same one the collector I got it from did not get it from ebay....is there a link to that ebay auction to compare...just curious...appreciate all of the info.

This same jersey sold on ebay May 19th 2011 for 2,999. It was sold as team issued and un-used by a seller in France.

I'm not a 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure that Bulls was always screened on and not vynal

Would be interesting to see if others here have any bulls jerseys with the Bulls in vynal

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

Its the same as the name and numbers...heat pressed vinyl

Re: 1986/87 Jordan jersey..need opinions

Is "bulls" screened on or are the letters vynal like the numbers and NOB?
