Description

Collector Grade, Beckett-authenticated autographed and signed memorabilia featuring Magic Johnson on the May 23, 1988 Sports Illustrated cover from the height of the Showtime Lakers era. A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Johnson is a five-time NBA champion, three-time NBA MVP, and three-time Finals MVP—one of the greatest floor generals the game has ever seen.

Collector's Highlights:

  • Athlete: Magic Johnson (Los Angeles Lakers)
