Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction April 2024

An important and desirable encapsulated offering here features three of basketball’s all-time greats appearing on the same card - we wonder if the deciders at Topps envisioned that the sum of the trio would eventually turn out to be an iconic card! Having shared considerable limelight in college, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson then did the same in the NBA as their rivalry continued for some 13 seasons, while forever sharing the same rookie card. Also mighty cool is that Doctor J., Julius Erving, appears with them here, with the famous card from Topps’ 1980-81 issue recently returning from PSA headquarters where it earned an appealing mark of NM 7. Featuring three (3) of the most important players in the history of basketball on one card, the already desirable piece has been amplified even further by the fact that all three (3) have signed over their respective images with beautiful matching blue ink signatures that display without issue, a sentiment also shared by PSA's graders who have bestowed a perfect by definition grade of GEM MT 10 to the autographs. A truly special card, when referencing the PSA/DNA Pop Report, the story is told of how the company has evaluated only 634 such examples of the offered card over the years with only thirty-seven (37) ever receiving a higher card grade than POP-83 specimen. Housed in a PSA holder that shows just a couple of light scratches and scuffs over both sides that are mentioning for accuracy, don't miss out on this esteemed hardcourt offering for your all-important portfolio!
