28. 1980 Topps #16 Larry Bird/Julius Erving/Magic Johnson (HOF RC) – PSA MINT 9
Extremely high-grade example of this outstanding three-legend card, with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson each appearing as rook- ies and Dr. J cleaning up in the middle as basketball’s scoring lead- er. There are few collectibles in any sport with this cachet or star power, giving any top-tier example transcendent appeal across our entire hobby. The PSA MINT 9 grade pulls no punches: this is an ideal exam- ple with strong print registration and centering that’s outstanding across all facets. It shows excellent, dynamic poses for all three players, elevating its design by that fact alone. This is the best example ever offered by Love of the Game and it will be tough (and expensive) to find one any better! A must-have card featur- ing three of basketball’s greatest players, presented as one sterling single. MINIMUM BID: $4,000
Easily among the most sought after NBA-related Type I photos in the hobby today, superstar Michael Jordan lands after hitting the game-winning jumper in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals. Be- hind the action, a packed house at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah watches in disbelief, perfectly framing the scene and directing our eyes towards one of the most iconic moments in the history of American sports. This is the second of three consecu- tive images in a sequence captured by photographer Mike Proeb- sting documenting Jordan’s final shot in a Chicago Bulls uniform; a championship-winning moment that cemented MJ’s legacy as one of professional basketball’s preeminent clutch performers. Dubbed “The Last Shot,” Jordan’s title-winning effort not only capped the 87-86 Chicago Bulls victory over the Utah Jazz, but sealed their sixth NBA championship in eight years with Jordan on the roster. Original color darkroom print, with Fujifilm logos displayed throughout verso, measures 8” x 10” and has survived in nearly-flawless overall condition with bold color and sharp cor- ners all around. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA. MINIMUM BID: $1,500 29. 1988 NBA Finals Michael Jordan (HOF) “The Last Shot” Original Type I Photo by Mike Proebsting (PSA/DNA)
