Signed 1980-1981 Topps Basketball Larry Bird/Julius Erving/Magic Johnson Rookie PSA MINT 9 with GEM MINT 10 Signature (MBA Silver Diamond)

The 1980 Topps basketball issue will always be remembered for its unique three-panel perforated strips. While that design resulted in some confusion to collectors looking to assemble a complete set, it was also responsible for the production of what is one of the most significant basketball cards in the hobby: the Larry Bird/Julius Erving/Magic Johnson card featuring the rookie cards for both Bird and Johnson. Offered is an extremely rare and highly prized example of that historic card that has been signed on the front by all three players. PSA has encapsulated the card MINT 9 and further graded the signatures GEM MINT 10. All three player signatures have been rendered in blue marker atop their respective images. This is a remarkable surviving example, in extremely high grade, with the extra special addition of the three signatures, making it one of the finest examples in existence! Awarded an MBA Silver Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
