Screw Upper Deck!

Opened a box of UD Black Basketball yesterday and to my surprise found the following card. Legendary Lustrous Michael Jordan Gold Ink auto #3/5. Covered in fingerprints and other such crap. Such a valuable card (Silver ink /25 is selling upwards of $350 on Ebay) has almost certainly dropped quite a lot in value unless I can find someone to clean it up as I don't really trust myself with it. I had thoughts about sending it to be graded but with the stains on the card whats the use? For a box I paid a little over $300 for I really expected better quality.

Wouldn't that be classified as a #1/1 now having Jordans fingerprints on it lol.

Wouldn't mind the card, please send me a picture.

Seems as though I can't pm pics for some reason so heres one. Camera isn't really bring out the fingerprints.

Nope! Can't see any fingerprints from that pic. Looks fine looking according to my eyes.

I know that's how most people would advertise it on eBay. Nope its not a flaw it is Jordan's fingerprints so that makes it a 1/1 which makes it worth 10 times the value of everything else.

Can you fix the card with a micro fiber cloth to clean the surface? If not maybe try contacting Upper Deck. I'm pretty sure they would love to take the Jordan off of your hands if it can be replaced.

I'll have to ask upper deck if they can swap it for the actual 1/1 parallel lol.

But seriously i'd hate to mislead someone on ebay into thinking they're getting this amazing card and what they actually receive isn't even worth sending off to be graded.
