Description

Collector-Grade autographed, signed memorabilia: authentic Nov. 19, 1979 Sports Illustrated magazine cover hand-signed by Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, authenticated by Beckett (BAS). A five-time NBA champion and three-time MVP, Johnson led the Showtime Lakers and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. Dated early in his rookie season, this cover marks the launch of a career that changed the NBA.

Collector's Highlights:

  • Athlete: Magic Johnson
  • Item: Sports Illustrated Nov. 19, 1979 magazine cover, hand-signed (Los Angeles Lakers)
  • Authentication: Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) QR-coded sticker #3W316863; Beckett’s online database confirms the signature. Note: Beckett no longer issues separate COA cards—the affixed BAS sticker is the complete authentication.

Authenticated by Beckett, this verified piece pairs an early-career Magic Johnson signature with trusted third-party backing, supporting long-term collectible value. A strong fit for serious Lakers and Hall of Fame collections.
