Magic year 2 and like an earlier Bird card post like this standalone card of him as opposed to rookie card. Think the photo is great as well showing him doing his thing.
Super sad to see this one go… It’s probably my second favorite Magic Johnson card after his Topps rookie which I have autographed by magic, bird, and Dr. J. This is just a beautiful example in high grade with amazing etched holofoil and a great, chunky game-used patch with a bright, bold, blue, clear autograph from an ultra-high end brand.
Clearly, I have a problem. I’m not sure when, or for how much, I got these two cards for. But they’ve been with me for a long time. When I was a kid, I had a Bird and Magic Coverse “Choose your Weapon” poster in my room. I still likely have it rolled up with tape on the edges. It’s an iconic flashback to the nostalgic 1980s rivalry between these two Hall of Fame players.
