Larry Bird Magic Johnson PSA 10 Graded Rookie Card Featured Auction ends 8/21/17 at 8:46 PM CST

The Larry Bird, Magic Johnson Rookie cards is one of the “Holy Grail” Rookie Cards for NBA basketball card collectors.  The PSA graded 10 Gem Mint copy is the cream of the crop as far as a store of value  is concerned.  The 10 Grade is extremely rare according to Kevin Glew of PSA’s Set Registry:

The biggest selling point of the set is that Erving, Bird and Johnson are featured on multiple cards, but it’s card #6 (the number generally assigned by hobby publications) that showcases all three of them that’s the set’s crown jewel.

“Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, I mean to have two of those players on one card for me – that just seemed like having a Mickey Mantle/Babe Ruth rookie card,” said Gorman.

Unfortunately, this single is not easy to find in high-grade. Of the more than 4,700 submitted to PSA, just 17 have been deemed PSA 10s.

“That (Bird/Magic rookie) always has a lot of print dots,” said Matt Linderman, who owns the registry’s No. 5 set. “Some print dots are white. Some of them are black colored.”

A full color front and back of the actual card are shown below:

Pre-War Card Collector Auctions (PWCC) is a trusted leader in the card auction business. According to PWCC, the Bird/Johnson Rookie Card is, “the single rarest yet also hotly desired rookie card in the world. This card represents the true essence of blue-chip trading card commodities and consequently signifies the pinnacle of investments. Impossibly rare in PSA 10; this is only the second example we’ve brokered in nearly a decade! A wonderfully fresh copy which certainly surpasses the eye appeal of most PSA 10s which have surfaced over the years. Dead centered with four undeniably GEM MINT corners, chipless edges, and near flawless print. This is a true PSA 10 in every way and will satisfy the desires of even disciplined collectors. We love this card, not only for it’s investment potential, but also for what it represents in the world of collecting. Don’t miss it; comes with our highest recommendation.

At this time there are only lesser grades available for auction.
