Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Several hoops opportunities are offered this time around, with an iconic card featuring three basketball legends headlining this thought-provoking ensemble. Longtime rivals Larry Bird and Magic Johnson appear on their famous 1980-81 Topps rookie card, with that season’s NBA MVP, Julius Erving, featured on his Scoring Leader issue – very cool. And very alluring is the NM-MT 8 assessment that the card merited at PSA headquarters, with a couple minuscule corner touches appearing to have denied a loftier mark. Similarly earning NM-MT 8 recognition is the card featuring Bird, rebounding leader Bill Cartwright and John Drew, while much of the raw contributors mirror the two slabbed cards. The new owner can anticipate NM-or-better cards and the odd intermittent corner touch and/or light corner ding and condition exception. Star players appear multiple times, with one of four trios featuring Bird (Bridgeman/Bird/Brewer) exhibiting the aforementioned touch and ding, while a more obvious/severe corner ding affects the Long/Magic/Boone card. Johnson’s appearance to the right of Erving is on an off-centered example with apparent print snow, with no notable flaws detected on a third Magic issue (Cheeks/Johnson/Boone). Several images of Kareem, Dr. J and other superstars, along with several submission candidates will have you inspecting and admiring for lengthy, enjoyable periods of time.
