Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Based on the photographs and description provided, the subject of this appraisal is an Upper Deck authenticated 8 x 10 autographed photo of Michael Jordan, signed in silver marker with a serial number of AAF22299. The piece appears to be in its Upper Deck folder, but it appears to be missing its certificate of authenticity and protective paper atop the photo.

According to the current owner, the piece was acquired via family member. The auction market for Jordan memorabilia has remained hot since his playing days, but has skyrocketed in 2020 with the release of the ESPN documentary series "The Last Dance".

In late June 2020, a similar signed photo (the same photo, different serial number, also missing its COA) sold on eBay for $2,125. In consideration of the factors noted, a Fair Market Value (pre-auction estimate) of this piece would be estimated at $2,000 to $2,500 USD.
